But why? I'm as hardcore FW-er as the next, but it seems like the only "deal" here is that the USPS (or whatever shipper is used) makes money. We spend a penny, and only get a penny in return.

Ordered through 'FOX' seller. I'm in for one just to see if it comes in a protective coin case. Thanks OP.

No HDMI, no USB-3, no SSD, and no reviews, make quality suspect.

Is there a quantity limit?
Citibank Forward card gives me 5 ThankYou Points for every dollar I spend at Amazon, plus they round up. Assuming 5 TYP = 5 cents (it's not), this means I can earn 5 cents for every $0.51 I spend - that's almost 10% Cash Back!
ONLY ONE COIN PER ORDER!!! Orders with more than 1 coin will be cancelled! Coin in Brilliant Uncirculated Condition from bank rolls.............gotta read the fine print
the 1 cent only has 22 in stock. the 2 cents seems to have a lot more, but have to order $2 for each order... seems like a lot of hassle if you're trying to build up some rewards.

If you pay with a CB credit card you make money on it
If you get 1.5% it's $0.00015

Seems like a good way to pump up your seller ratings on the cheap if you limit the amount of these you have...
All that's left on the penny are: $0.95 + $4.49 shipping and $0.01 + $4.49 shipping

Great way for the seller to get all your info for just a penny and imagine what he can get when he sells your info. WOW

Third party Amazon sellers do not get access to a user's email address, phone number, payment information, etc. All they get is name and address - so if you wanted to "resell" that info you're better off picking up a phone book.

Or $0.1001, if you use a card that gives you 1% CB plus an additional $0.10 per transaction...

Not quite true. You're an Amazon customer that paid $.01 for a penny. That gives them some info to sell.

The 2-penny set is available again. Don't know what the seller is trying to do.

I believe these are the Chinese version, not as good as the the US version IMHO.

Did the Chase Freedom new Visa card 35000 bunus points deal, and when the new card arrived with terms, I noticed in the paperwork there is a statement about purchases of cash, money products, and "cash like" products such as lottery tickets will be treated as a cash advance and not as a regular purchase. Maybe to stop US Treasury coin orders?
Never noticed this language in my old cards. Glad I used an old card to buy the penny.
Penny arrived although there appears to be a slight nick in the copper at 3:00. Will return it for a full refund!
