Did you find this item expensive? Let's analyze it: It includes FREE SHIPPING. Platform fees fluctuate based on sales, category and locations, especially with promotions across various platforms. I allocate selling prices to cover these costs. Does that make sense? If you're interested in owning this item, I recommend you BUY it NOW, as I revise prices annually if the item is still available. I have been selling error coins for nearly 10 years and can guarantee my expertise in identifying them. If a seller cannot clearly explain the errors in their coins or US paper money, it's advisable to verify the authenticity of their items. Finding error coins and U.S. paper money requires time and careful examination. The labor-intensive process of identifying errors contributes to their higher prices compared to standard currency. This is a 1973 D penny with a Clipped Planchet error. Aside from cleaning or enhancing the background, I do not use Photoshop or filters on my images. My items for sale come from a non-smoker, perfume-free owner without pets household.
