Maybe someone erroneously put dot after 0 instead of before 0. 95.00 would be still rather high price but not insane.

That's a good idea; but if you look at some of his listings, you see similar pricing strategies.


 


$2000


 


$900


 


$350


 



$300


 


$350


 



$400



and many more...ad nauseam

First of all, the seller has problem with attribution.

A ridiculously priced coin on MA shops...I saw this nice VRBS ROMA from Antioch with an "eyes to heavens" bust and was going to buy it until I noticed the price.

this guy thinks that the TF is ΓF...maybe he is right, as he says he is a "professional numismatist"  ::)

I know that you should not make fun of crazy people, but this guy is selling river rocks that he found in Pennsylvania and is claiming that they are ancient coins--  "These coins originate from treasure found in the Susquehanna river. Pribably left by roman soldiers or pirates. various denominations, historical periods, and countries/regions of manufacture."

 
 

 


it's hard to tell from his blurry pictures, but these are smooth river rocks.

 



he definitely has a vivid imagination

But, Victor, of you look closely enough, it's clear. A rarity 88, there It Is.
