BU ? Uhh.. Yeah

This thing looks like it got plowed under a salt ruck, and has old greasy
finger prints all over it .. And he calls it BU.
Its a nice coin in its own right .... But man oh man why play stupid and call
a scraggly old crow an eagle ?

It's all covered in the seller's user id.

False advertising covered by a user id ?
The guy has good FB, people I heave dealt with have bought from him, and I
really wouldn't have a prob buying from him also.
I just don't see the need to lie here.
I'll give him the benifit of doubt and chalk it up to plain keyword spamming,
since he describes just about every coin he sells as BU.

Sometimes I try to make light, not using a smiley, figuring that I am
obviously not serious. BU is an acronym thrown around loosely - a lot.
Likely as not, people don't even connect the literal meaning of BU when they
use the term. Then again, considering the user id, maybe this guy's BU
means butt ugly.

I can see your tongue in cheek Bill.
Brilliant, Uncirculated. That coin, and most of his others would plainly not
come close to this by any standards, and is only a cheap ploy to sucker
newbies, and/or get more hits.
The seller seems like a pretty stand up guy judging by his FB, and I hope he
comes to the realization that he doesn't need engage in deceptive practices
to sell his wares.
But yeah, if worse came to worse, he could always fall back on the 'butt
ugly' definition of BU.

A total of $8.49 for this nasty thing? I have a few that are much
better than this nasty thing. Wanna send me the money?

HA HA HA HA !!!! Scratched, PVC Damage just for starters..........

I doubt that's PVC damage. More likely its zinc corrosion (which
is probably worse) as in off-center strikes the zinc core can
easily get exposed. BU I suppose is _technically_ accurate as
there is no wear (like the vast majority of modern errors),
though "Borderline Ugh!-trocious" is also more accurate.

Look above the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse, that sure looks like
that bad GREEN stuff...also all over the word 'CENT'
