    If that’s a Chibi coin, and the OP truly has a ton of these, I have to ask, “Why?”, or maybe “Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot”.

    I agree, it's not cool to trash an active auction and it's been that way from the start of coin forums. Good people get hurt and it opens the door for other types of harassment. It's auction interference. 
    Lets say you have an item listed at auction. It would not be fair to trash someone trying to sell the same item. 
    Try going to a live auction in person. Stand up and tell everyone to not bid on an item. How long would it take for the auction company to boot you out the door? 
    Go to a coin show and stick your nose in the middle of a dealer trying to sell a coin to a customer. That dealer is going to tell you to leave or have security make you leave.  
    The OP came here to promote his coin club and the hobby. That's pretty cool in my book.

    You shouldn't do that.  There is not much value in a particular coin if everybody had one of them.  The more you search, the better you will become with recognizing the cornucopia of quality control issues all the mints have to offer.  It is important to note that many 100's of thousands of coins have been searched over many decades by the collective group of members on this site and very few rare variety/error coins are found through general circulation.  Fewer varieties/errors seem to be occurring at the mint over the last 20 years, so finding a new variety/error is tough for new/current coins and effectively impossible for older coins.  There are fantastic resources available on the Newbie Coin Collecting Questions Forum that will help you in your numismatic endeavors:

     
    Good luck!

    Two suggestions:
    1) Please accept that nearly ALL different coins are merely damaged.
    2) Please stop with the USB microscope pictures.
