I bought two of them, to fill a magnification gap for my bino-viewer.
A few days later, I thought I'd buy a few more at that price just to tuck away or maybe pass-on at a swap meet.
Well, by then the price had risen to $56.95 apiece, the same as their regular 25mm "highlight" plossl! No longer a bargain, so I didn't order more.

It turns out that the $19.95 listing was a mistake and only on the website very briefly. I just lucked-out that day.
