DRAGON ~ CHINATOWN ~ SAN FRANCISCO CA Rolled, flattened, squished, pressed, smashed, elongated COPPER penny This coin could be a great addition to an e-coin collection or it could be a token memento of a place visited or just dreamed about.  E-coin collecting is a great hobby whether it's by themes, animals, people, places, or just what catches the eye.  It doesn't take up much space, it's not too costly and it's fun and easy for anyone, whether you press your own coins or buy them from someone else's collection. If the "status" of a coin is important to you, check out the PENNYCOLLECTOR.COM website. There are other sites but that one is my favorite.  With help from the site creator who also places some of the machines, it has input from folks like you and me about coins and/or coin machines AVAILABLE, RETIRED or “REMOVED” in all 50 states and around the world.  It’s not always 100% up-to-date or accurate because machines do break down from time-to-time or get moved around but it’s a GOOD guide.   The picture shows the actual e-coin offered. Any blur/distortion you see in my scan is due to the curve of the coin.     Except for a rare old one, I clean my coins up a bit before listing them.  I aim for accuracy but may, in error, list a copper coin as zinc (no harm done there) or a zincer as copper.  In that case, it would be because the coin is so nice looking that it’s difficult to see the difference.  Please let me know if you notice or suspect any error on my part or have a question.   I do have a “day job” away from eBay but I do answer e-mails ASAP and ship ASAP after payment receipt.  I work hard to keep my buyers AND my feedback rating “happy”. Payment is due within 10 days of end of auction (unless other arrangements are previously made). Shipping/Handling charges cover actual listing/selling/shipping costs plus a small handling fee per mailing.   U.S. buyers can request an invoice including insurance if desired.  Additional fees apply.  Postal issues are uncommon but please remember that I am not responsible for a coin after it has been mailed.   Combined Shipping of coins won within 7 days (unless other arrangements are previously made) can be done to help you to minimize your s/h costs. U.S. S/H 1st class s/h is $1.40 for this coin plus 30¢ for each additional coin when coins are paid for together on one invoice.   International S/H 1st class international s/h for this coin to Canada is $1.70 or $1.90 to all other countries plus 30¢ for each additional coin when coins are paid for together on one invoice.  Payment from outside the U.S. MUST be made through Paypal only.  Save $$ by combining multiple coins you've won into one payment whenever possible! U.S. Payments accepted are Paypal, money order or check.  If using Paypal, please save yourself $$ by combining multiple coins you've won into one payment whenever possible! I continue to aim for the fairest balance between my fees/expenses and those charges that I include in "s/h".  My single elongated coin listings all start at a low bid of 99¢.  From there, it's all up to you, the bidders, to determine the "gotta have it" value.    Click HERE to ask ANY questions before placing your bid Click HERE to see my other auctions and/or HERE to add me to your favorite sellers list!  Thank you for looking!  Bid with confidence and come back again!
