Burks Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 http://cgi.ebay.com/1943-U-S-A-Penny_W0QQi...1QQcmdZViewItem Seems to be a plain old Lincoln to me. Are they hoping it turns out to be a copper penny hiding under there or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Looks like your garden variety 50cent Lincoln to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Gees I think I might want to pull the '43 Lincolns off of the refrigerator magnets and put them on fleaBay. I also have some magnetic French coins lingering on the reefer, I better sell them too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller never said anything other than it was a 1943 and showed the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller never said anything other than it was a 1943 and showed the picture. True ... and the pic looks like it could be copper. I'd bet on some serious photoshopping by a seller "playing dumb" ... someone's gonna get burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I almost bought a Seated Half off the seller and then seen this auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stujoe Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Might be a plating that the copper rubbed off. But, it is probably just gunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 The seller has 100% Pos. feedback and is selling several more '43s with the same info. http://cgi.ebay.com/1943-U-S-A-Penny_W0QQi...1QQcmdZViewItem I don't think that this was an attempt to be deceptive.

Burks Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'd buy some of his coins but I'm afraid he'll nail me with a $5 shipping fee. Not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Who knows - it could be a common copper plated coin. Copper plating is not too terribly difficult either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Looks like a rather gunkie steel penny to me. I would never look at that coin and think it was copper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Looks like a typical black/white zinc piece to me. Maybe two older folk just really wanted to have a "lead-head" from their youth? I've seen auctions where a common piece sold for multiples of regular value, while tens of other auctions for the same thing have no bids at $2 or less.

Burks Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 http://cgi.ebay.com/Morgan-Dollar-1921_W0Q...1QQcmdZViewItem Another great item. "Prook look" eh? A collector of 20 years selling a four to five figure coin for $75? Riiiiiiiight and I found an 1804 silver dollar in my couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coinmonster Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I sent him several messages asking questions about the wheat penny and he never would answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
