Got an "S" mint Lincoln in change today! Put it on eBay?

[James_OldeTowne]

What do you think of the monster toning on this baby? Think it's worth listing on eBay?

 

 

James

[jtryka]

"Monster" is clearly and understatement.

[Dry]

better get it slabbed first.

[cladking]

It might not slab for AT.

 

At least you don't have to feed it.

 

Interestingly I got just about the worst '64-D cent I've ever seen today. It is still round and mostly disc shaped but after getting a lot of wear this sucker got beaten with an ugly stick. Little metal is missing but it's all been pushed around on the obverse and reverse. It's a wonder I can make out the date.

[James_OldeTowne]

Go ahead, accuse me of spamming!

 

But here it is on eBay!

I am high bidder!

 

If I win it I WILL SEND IT TO ANACS

[Murphy-migration]

I believe you have mistaken Monster Toning for Gangster Toning.

[midwest]

Would ANACS even grade it

 

If I win it you can bet I will damage it more

[James_OldeTowne]

((( I am high bidder! )))

 

Oh boy, this has gotten way out of hand! This Lincoln cent is now at $.10, which is 10 x face value. Meanwhile, my genuinely attractively-toned Kennedy half is still sitting at $.01, which is 1/50 of face value.

 

Is there truly no justice?

 

James

[Stimmy]

Yes the irony. At least it's a true NT coin.

I fixed that for you James. I don't want you posting about how you sold a coin below face again.

I am watching that too.

Can you say sniping.

[Proof__Coins20-migration]

Awesome coin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HaydenTubbs]

Oh boy,James this has got to be one of your best auctions yet! Genuine "Chicken Liver" material if I ever saw it!!!

 

 

Who knows you might even break even on this one!!!

[McKinley-migration]

i can't decide if this is unbelievable, or if it's just hilarious.... either way...... NICE score ha ha

[James_OldeTowne]

Hayden,

 

Your wish is my command! One can never have too much chicken liver.

Hey, mister, is this just a bit of marketing strategy?! You're a genius, man, I say it again, a pure genius in the league of John Paul Sarosi, Paul Sims, Robert Chambers and Coast to Coast!

 

[P. J.]

This is a joke, right? I'm no pro, and I am having difficulty seeing any beauty in this coin. It looks like rust on it. Why are you calling it toning? And some of you are considering to slab it. What's with that ?

[cladking]

It's very difficult to see the beauty in this coin but I'm sure there is some.

 

Yes. We're joking. Though this is a common coin in uncommon condition.

[P. J.]

I appreciate your honest response. I was becoming very confused. If SMS ms-65 Lincoln cents average $5.00. It's mind boggling to see the coin on Ebay for $2.00 Plus. The add is an good example of creative writing.

 

Thanks

[James_OldeTowne]

((( Yes. We're joking. Though this is a common coin in uncommon condition. )))

 

Joking?

 

JOKING?

 

You're accusing me of running a JOKE eBay auction???

 

I'll have you know, I have had to respond to some very serious allegations regarding this auction. So if you want, review the listing once more, and pay special attention to some of the biting, incisive questions that I've been forced to answer. The questions have become so .... so uh .... insulting that I'm considering pulling the auction and demanding a fee refund from eBay.

 

 

James

[cladking]

I stand corrected.

 

I confess I hadn't actually followed the link and now see that this is a monsterou.. er ah, I mean monster toned coin.

 

It appears I may have been wrong earlier about feeding it too. Perhaps this is why it followed you home. Next time try to restrict the diet to olive oil and these will be tamed a little.

 

Good luck.

Well Victor it is an original piece so of course you have to pay strong money for it

 

I must say though I am a little surprised at the final price

 

It will be fun to get it. I am going to ruin it even more

[EZ_E]

Well, Travis, I have a 1982 cent that you would pay top dollar for. It would put the '72 S to shame. As a matter of fact, I have over a grand invested in it! Really! It is the only damn thing that I have found to date with these damned metal detectors. So, I soaked it in Fixer, an acidic agent used in developing photographic film and x-rays. It has eaten holes through the zinc but the date remains. It is actually kind of cool!
