what the?

I'm trying to figure out if this seller is joking? He has to be, but he sure makes a convincing case otherwise. Maybe it is just a cry for attention?

Yeah right, like I'd plunk down 50k on e-bay.

On the other hand, shipping is free....

 

The seller is an idiot.

Make him an offer of $.03

 

This is a total joke. Not only does it not touch the "9" but even if it did it would not be all that uncommon. Mint marks can be all over the place as they were punched by hand. Some touch the numbers and some even overlap the numbers. these are worth a few bucks but thats about it. I have lightened and zoomed in on the photo

I would stay away from that one first of all the pics are bad and to me that is a sign of a

Judging by his response to one questioner, I'd say he's a bipolar off his meds.

 

If it's worth that much, why isn't it in a slab?
It's as much a scam as the coins from China, maybe worse.

 

Well, to each his own.

Slightly different question, does anyone have any idea how nicewicker managed to get his question into someone else's listing? At least that is what it appears to be. It is just above the pics.

 

Lol.

 

This is the best reply of his:
"Q: what if you have 1 with no mint? THANKS Oct-29-08
A: 1956 with no mint means Philadelphia and is not valuable. If you have 1956 with "S" or 1956 with "D" stuck to the year, they are both valuable. "

Yup, a 1956 S piece would be very valuable.

 

yah, and why can I edit the seller's response?

 

I love that part. I know I'm in a jealous rage, probably like everyone here, over this common cent. I hope he posts more imaginary rarities for sale.

Nobody dumb enough to fall for this could afford it anyway, so it almost wouldn't qualify as a scam... and it may be possible the seller sincerely believes this is a true rarity.

 

what?

 

Damn! I have one of these at home! I'd better buy this one, and then destroy it - can't let my investment drop in value.

 

wow, needed a good chuckle today.

I need to cash in my BU roll of those. Maybe I can supplement my wonderful 401K with the earnings.

 

Now there's the proof beyond all reasonable doubt this guy's a wing nut.

 

Er... in order to be a scam there has to be an element of intentional deception. If the seller truly believes what he's saying, then he's not trying to deceive anyone, despite the fact what he's saying isn't true.

For example, if I honestly thought it was raining outside but it's not... what I said wasn't true, but it also wasn't a lie, because I honestly believed it. Saying something that is not true is not automatically a lie; it can also be a result of being mistaken or delusional.

In this case this seller may honestly believe the coin is a rarity... whether he's merely mistaken or delusional I'll leave for you to judge (my guess is both!) but I don't think he's trying to deceive anyone, in the sense that I think he sincerely believes what he's saying.

 

If the guy sincerely believes this coin is a genuine rarity (and it's raining outside when it's not) he needs a strait jacket....

 

Well as I said lol either he's seriously misinformed, or extremely delusional, or both... take your pick.
