    This is why people need to know the difference between true Mint Errors and Post Mint Damage!

    It already has 11 bids. I will give the final sale price when it ends soon :banghead:

    Hope it's not too expensive a lesson. Then again, the bigger the burn the more they'll remember to look things up first.

    It is exactly this sort of thing that gives our hobby a black eye.

    Well, not exactly like this. What would be worse is if the winning bidder posted it on CT as an error but refused to believe anyone when told it was just damage.

    I think that last one might be worth the 150$ for someone too lazy to do the desired damage himself.

    The trick is to squeeze a cent between two nickels, that way you dont leave any rim marks on the coin lol:D:stop:

    If you are really tricky you can also take another penny and cut/grind the rim off so it's not so obvious.

    Maybe you could take note of the buyer to see if he/she shows up here. ~ Chris
