    I saw something today that made me disgusted. It was not the 1976 $2 bill marked for $50.99, the 1971 Eisenhower Dollar marked for $11.49, or the $2 Canadian bill marked at a mere $15.99. Instead, it was a common 1920 wheat cent in probably VF with plenty of grime. It could've been mine if I had shelled out the $180.99 for it. It has "multiple errors" of course, perhaps making the price the deal of a lifetime. First, I have never known thrift stores to sell coins. Second, who is pricing these things? Certainly no genuine collector! Third, $180.99?! The eBay and Etsy scam has, at last, infected even thrift stores.

    The cent has been sitting there since May. May it rest in peace there forevermore.
