Found this today. "1943 Silver Steel Lincoln Wheat Penny One Cent No Mint Mark Sticks To Magnets" for the low price of $2,495.00. As a bonus, it's corroded to the point that Lincoln is barely recognizable. At a generous value of $.05 that's a markup of 4,990,000%.

I’ll do another eBay deep dive soon and maybe start a new thread with the best finds. You can do it yourself though. Just search ‘rare coin’ on eBay.co.uk and you will begin your descent into a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
I agree as long as the description is accurate the price is irrelevant but if the description has false or misleading information then it can be taken as fraud so whatever the price its only as valuable as whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
I point this out to people who persist on advertising Rare 1953 Silver Corronation Crowns and tell them no Silver 1953 UK Corronation Crowns Where Minted all where in Cupro-Nickel and over 5,000,000 where made.
Not on Ebay but pretty ridiculous. Description says "1975 (no mint name) US 1 Dime made with a big hole in the coin. No one knows the reason. This hole isn't handmade." Only costs $50,000 but shipping is free.

Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.
If you had read both of those listings you would have realized they were both tongue-in-cheek, neither one actually a serious listing. The second one has a very interesting story to it and is quite a worthwhile read.

That’s why the second one is worth every penny.

Has the UK gone mad over selling common coins at ramped up prices, why is there this fad for 1971 dated 1p and 2p coins being worth so much. They minted a BILLION of the damn things, even I in New Zealand have 2 mint sets with them and several loose ones.
And one guy said a 2007 Slavery coin was from 1807 - seriously.
There should also be a blanket ban on usage of the word "rare" on any coin that was issued after 1950 unless it is certified a rare error or unique. Same for the uneducated people who spell the word as "Rear" as it is common on the illiterate sellers on many auctions.
Also calling a coin in which over 100 million were minted as UNIQUE shoudl invoke the trade descriptions act.
Crap like that is reasons why I stay the HELL away from FEEBAY.

I agree they should be worth just above face value (not several thousand) maybe a bit more if there’re UNC, proof or NIFC. The only valuable bronze 1p and 2p is the 1983 2 New Pence error which is rare compared to the rest.
The 1971-1992 Bronze 1p and 2ps are still very common to find but not as much as in the past I’ve searched through bags (because I keep bronze ones and for territories and foreigns) which around 5-15 in a 100 (one bag) are bronze.

1972s are quite valuable (at least compared to the year before) but still common finds in proof sets.
Ebay seller, netsah1767, was originally trying to selling this 1966 English language edition of Mao's Quotations for a staggering $4,999.99 USD.
Having failed, netsah1767 is now trying to sell the same copy for a $1,000 USD. The book is remains massively overpriced, even if it is in mint condition. It will never sell.
A 1936 United Kingdom 1 Penny (1/240 Pound) - asking for £2,000 ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224811915774
so 2,000 x 240 = 480,000 times face value, or just under half a million.
A 1986 UK single metal £2 selling for £12,998 more than face value. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185337492931
On the edge the 1986 is faintly stamped, looking wrongly like 1985 but
is definitely 1986 there. Plus the seller is another who thinks that edge lettering
should only be one way up, and does not realise it is random.

Anyone care to guess why I am not sure whether to laugh or cry?!
Yes it's a bit overpriced and clearly the worst way to handle proof coins!
But £8.50 is peanuts next to people selling 1971 dated 1p and 2p coins for like £2k or more each!

Here's a few particularly outrageous Ebay listings that I've come across recently. These all ended weeks to months ago, so don't go off rushing to buy them🤣.

The last one is especially sneaky. I though 4 coins for a dollar isn't too bad, even if they are extremely common.
Well I’m willing to part with my polymer note set if it get at least £15,000 for it.😜

-Yes, sad to say, there's been a lot of stupid overpriced notes with her image being listed in the last couple days. One seller must have bought as many ECS $100 as he could & every single one is over-graded & super high priced (maybe not 10,000 pounds but far too much).

I understand that every thing after the “?” is tracking, so it (and the “?”) can and should always be removed.
Apparently some varieties of the 3 $1 coins made out of muck metal are really rare and coloured, so now people can charge the cost of a 1kg gold coin, or 50 Gothic Crowns for this pap.
I don't care how bloody rare they are? How the f#@k in God's green earth are they worth $300,000. Even if they were stuffed full of rubies and star sapphires in 25 carat gold, they would not be worth that much.

This sort of thing is not limited to eBay. On the NZ site Trade Me, one stupid and greedy woman was trying to sell a copy of the book ‘Vitalogy’ (the same from which Pearl Jam named their bestselling album) for NZD 50,000, which is quite a bit for a book which, while interesting, is worth only about NZD 50. This same person would pop up regularly, offering similar cheap antiques for ludicrous sums, getting increasingly agitated as people hit the Q&A button, giving realistic valuations or offers. We book dealers had a good laugh at that one. Two words trail through all the examples given; ‘stupidity’ and ‘greed.’ I would love to know the percentage of these idiots who actually make good. If it could be measured at all, it is surely a tiny figure.
Trade Me is full of deluded halfwits and scammers selling overpriced and misdescribed junk. When I ever report someone for scamming, they do nothing and often I get warnings for “harassing” the seller. One mudbrain was selling a fake Chinese 1906 British Trade dollar in its fake chinese holder for like $600 and he threatened me with legal action, when I called it out.
This person claimed his 1922 florin was high grade and rare - 22 million were minted that year and his coin is basal VG. He claimed common corroded pennies worth 10c in copper were $50 each. All of the coins are dirt common. The Mercury dime valued at $10 is the closest to the truth, its worth around $4 in silver!
The guy with the $600 trade dollars and I found his source here on feebay, 11 cents each - made in China fake rubbish. The threat of legal action faded after I sent this to trade me, yet they still left the auction up!
This seller was claiming these halfcrowns were shiny and new. In fact they were dipped coins worn down to basal condition. You will notice their snide reply to my comment.
Its hard trying to be honest this day, Trade me is littered with fakes and overpriced rubbish. Before some American super net company took it over, they were locally run and decent, reporting crap saw it taken down and the sellers warned or banned. Now all they care about is success fees.

You don't see many 1947 Queen Elizabeth pennies (in the first ad). 😀
Says everything about the average intelligence level of the scammers and dreamers. Most of the Trade Me ones are very unsophisticated. Usually it's someone with Nanny's old box of coins and something from like 1970 to them is like being from the Bronze Age (Working class and simple people live heavily in the now). They are also motivated by the “If its old, its worth a fortune" - old is like 1965 to them, when in fact you can get Roman coppers that are basically worthless in slick condition.
You can expect them to know when rulers issued coins, or who was Prime Minister and when - all they see is dollar signs and sadly even more stupid people buy these items. As its a “No sale no fee” platform, they can keep relisting this stuff until it does sell and often people like me who point out such listings are scams and misleading - you often get abuse or threats. Sometimes they whine to Trade Me and you get a warning as “Know it all Dudley doorights”, like me are kryptonite to these thieves.
I do laught though when the spell the word rare as Rear, because they are borderline illiterate people bred up on textspeak. I am hardly Grammarian of the century - but even my semi literate rambles are like Shakespearean sonnets to the mongol level textspeak/ebonics you find in many “auctions” now.

Another seller on Trade Me pushing a fake 1885 Trade dollar for $2000 or more, I have reported this seller twice and nothing has been done, even with a scan of the same coins for sale on Chinese fencing site Temu.
Just $4 on Temu - But a lot more on Trade Me
Reported, yet they won't do anything.

I had a great one last night, a 1971 two pence coin error for £2500. When I asked what the error was he called me stupid because the coins with new pence are error coins, there you are I have learned something new 🤣

No need to be offensive mate, I am a working class lad and far from stupid. I attended grammar school, joined the Royal Navy and have a masters degree in health care. Ones class does not equate to one’s level of intelligence!!!!
The lot I reported is still there and I got a warning from Trade Me, as I “harassed” the seller. Yes telling someone they have a fake coin is harassment now.
As for Offa, I have no idea what he is talking about - I grew up mixed race spawn from a single mother (The racists would call her a mudshark and me a mongrel mutt or something), everyone in my family smoked and lost their teeth by age 40. My 50 year old brother is dying and my parents both died in middle not old age - yet I have 4 degrees and are working on number 5 (Hopefully this one will land me a career in my twilight years). I have more money than I will ever know what to do with and have gone from being totally hand to mouth from everyone, to be independent to the point, the family members left are like colonies to me.
My mother was great, but told me I was an accident from make up sex, after my abusive father gave her a miscarriage by kicking her and then after she recovered I was conceived and then I was born with autism. Meanwhile I grew up in a city that was like Waxahachie, Alabama as a kid and is still a bit like that today. NONE of that shit held me back though.
So I think I may win the “Whose the most deprived and most Oliver twisted” competition.
None of this good fortune, came from ripping anyone off on Trade Me or Ebay or anywhere else!

For moneytane growing up in 1950‘s Liverpool was certainly an experience but i got over my bad start in life to become relatively successful. Just because you come from the street doesn’t mean you have to stay on the street, I can empathise with your story mate my mother raised four of us on her own because my father was a tw@t and spent long periods at her majesty’s pleasure. Never look back mate keep focusing on life to come.
Not Ebay, but USA Coin book. Claiming it is a 1943 S Lincoln Wheat Cent struck on a copper planchet of which there are only estimated to be about 20 in existence. Starting bid $2,500,000.00. Free shipping from Morocco however.
Well, for $2.5M USD I'd expect it to be hand delivered by a professional courier in a briefcase handcuffed to their wrist. With at least two burly security guards flanking them.
One has to wonder who is supposed to fall for this kind of thing. If you've got that kind of money to burn, you're a serious collector who will clearly spot the fake.
If you're a new collector, you wouldn't go for a “holy grail” type purchase right out the gate.
And everyone else simply doesn't have that kind of money to burn.

All true but I find these annoying and they clog up the boards for legitimate sellers and buyers. I am primarily a buyer and as I scan these boards I find more and more of this nonsense every day. I report them and they are usually taken down fairly promptly.
Edit: Just looked for it and they did take off the auction board.

All good - just proving to you I am not a flake.
Liverpool in the 50s hey, sounds like the only highlight would be trips to the “Cavern Club” around 1961/62?
Years ago, I did read a book about the grinding poverty there, 19th century back to backs, pollution, drinking, rain, bleak lives etc.
Closes July 1st, they want $2300 (About £1100 or €1350) for a 1951 Festival of Britain crown. Description enamours about its age (73 years old), showing them a Roman copper, may make them hyperventilate. 19 feedback and mostly sells bad art or buys things, so no negatives. 5 people watching - so my guess is they are like me, in shock.

I’ve yet to have found one in circulation, surprisingly I did found one in a world coin lot albeit in poor condition.
Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.
This one won recently for me. Not because of the price but the title. It's Isambard Brunel you melon. Not Abraham Lincoln.
To the seller, they obviously have no knowledge of mid 1800's fashion and assume a guy in a stove top hat must be Abraham Lincoln because he is the most well known to Americans and those who consume American content on TV/Streaming.

Unless I’m missing something glaringly obvious, this is just a bunch of low value coins and a couple of silver coins. It has been at 671,66€ for a few days now, but there are many bidders and I can’t work out if someone has been manipulated or tricked in some way to bid for it. I have looked a few times, but all I see of value is the .999 Canadian silver and the 64 US Dollar, then quarters and underneath aluminium coins. There is also nothing in the description and the 3 images are almost the same, so whoever bid so high on this is mad.
„If your reply or post in the Forum stinks of AI, I will call you out! Knowledge comes from experience, the I in AI stands for incompetence.“
Wow that last post will be useful for 7 days at most and I really doubt the link could be longer. If I click it my computer might explode
Please snapshot an image of the item or at LEAST describe it and what they want for it. Such posts are of ZERO help to anyone else.

To be fair on the Brunel/Lincoln, Lincoln is a very recognisable figure as he extraordinarily dominant for a political figure. He's had movies, features on US currency, countless TV “appearances”.
He's probably the US' equivalent in political fame as “Churchill”, “Stalin”, “Caesar” etc. He is a name from history that even if your history is very limited, you still know of them & seen enough pictures that they exist in a certain way.
Brunel doesn't have that. Sure, he crops up a lot on engineering-based documentaries but otherwise… he's a bit “who?" to the average person.
I have known someone else who assumed it was Lincoln at a passing glance. 🤷♂️
Same way I suppose if I saw a roman coin with an emperor on, I'd pick the big names “Augustus”, “Claudius”, “Nero” before I guessed “Pertinax” if there was no additional info on the coin.
Though perhaps 30 seconds of research would've helped that seller 🤣
These are hilarious, thank you for sharing them everyone :D
I must admit I got scammed (sort of) on Ebay back when I was 18 or so. It's because the description was very sneaky on just what exactly I was gonna get. I don't remember the exact text, but it was something like this:
"You will receive at least:
- 1 silver coin
- 5 coins older than 1940
- 3 coins minted between 1930 and 1937
- 10 bronze coins
- … Etc etc etc"
There was quite a long list.
It was a mixed lot and I was excited about the ‘mystery’ as I love getting lots and just spend hours cataloguing them all.
Well, when I finally got the package, it was only something like 6 coins (not the dozens I was expecting). Why? Because one coin could match more than one of the bullet points given in the description.
I spent £70 for that, if I remember correctly. It will always stay in my memory as one of my stupidest mistakes, but gosh, that sort of description is honestly evil.
I would never buy any mystery lot off Eday, all are scams. Several show pictures of treasure and well arranged silver coins, gold bars, stacks of notes and glinting coins with those late 70s/early 80s “sparkle stars” you saw on ads then.
Channels like Silverpicker, Rob finds treasure and silverseeker often by Ebay gift bags and always get a raw deal, usually worn and slider silver coins, misdescribed rubbish, misleading claims like “Rare 80 year old silver coin” which turns out to be a slick war nickel, or a really beaten up Mercury dime from like 1942 (The ultra common WW2 years).
My guess your pack was a War nickel for silver coins, the 10 bronze coins were all wheat cents and the 1930 to 1937 were 1935, 36 and 37P wheat cents - all worn. If British beaten up pennies and ultra common dates like 1936 and 1938. Old does not mean anything. You can buy pennies from like 1862 that are so misty and just have the date for copper melt (10 cents), and even worn roman coppers from some forgettable late 3rd century emperor like Tetricus, Probus etc or some Constanian of the 4th century for $2 each for identifiable and 50 cents for a lump they allege is old.

Yeah, the bronze ones were a bunch of wheat cents, and the silver was a mercury dime. Can't remember the others.
Anyways, lesson very much learned. Now it's just a ‘funny’ story I share with others 😆
This listing had no $400 Buy it Now option (in the first few days it went up) but now it does. The seller also provides the option to meet for the transaction. ALL 40 notes have the same GKV9181892 serial number. While it is true he puts “Not Real Money” in his title, there's still a lot that's wrong with this!
Bank of Canada $100 notes with the serial number GKV9181892 were on the national & local news weeks ago here in Canada.
Take this youtube link for a sample of the news on Canada's counterfeit currency problem. Do the notes look familiar?
Really - ten thousand pounds for a scruffy five pound note?
