    thinking the same thing, not to make fun if an honest mistake (sarcastic) but anyone with a remote feel of coins knows neither is a "real bargain"

    I voted nickel bracelet since at least the cents have a "chance" of recouping their value in time. The bracelet has destroyed any value possible of the nickels.

    except that the cents look to be plated. so probably doomed to 1cent for life

    Yeah, what a rip! The buffalo is jewelry and you can always find some hippie chick to wear them. The war cents are still incredibly cheap in comparison to what they're asking!

    Both scams. But plated steel pennies? I don't think so.

    I decided that the nickles being hawked as jewelry doesn't really constitute a scam, whereas calling shinned up pennies "collectible" implies a numismatic value to the product that just isn't there, hence a scam.

    both are crap honestly but if id was forced to go with one id go with the bag of lincolns.. cause i might find a error that would make it all worth it .. or even a bunch of S mints.
