I wrote to the seller asking her why she selling this fake , she insisted it was not a fake and anyone who is not an insider like her can't get a fair shake , she stated the person at PCI said he thought it was real , but wouldn't grade it , duh , why didn't she just have it authenticated . She also went on saying the damage that looks like a one is just damage , also says she doesn't know how to take good pictures , I told her as a seller it's her responsability to have better pictures taken or borrow a better camera , also asked why she would sell such an " exspensive " coin on ebay for $800 when it's worth at least $30,000 , waiting for her responce now , what a crock .

PS. Please report it again .

 

Reported it again , I think she might have the people at ebay believing her bull---- story , maybe we should pitch in and buy it and destroy it .

The people at eBay do not decide if the coin is authentic. That is left to the ANA.

 

It may have been a 1836. But it was definately a counterfeit. At least that's what the owner said it was.

 

Still not pulled .

 

eBay has pulled all of them.

well, they haven't pulled this one and probably won't. Only two hours left. I'm disappointed in eBay.

 

First, I am still reporting it. Secondly, they do (more often than makes sense to me) cancel a listing after it has closed.

 

please help me have this pulled. only 2 hours left. thanks

 

it's gone!

 

No it's still their you have to go to the 2nd listing , also real '43 coppers will have Proof like rims due to the pressure the steel cents had to be struck with , and the VDB on Lincolns shoulder is very precise unlike normal copper cents of that era .

Reported it again , she says it'e guarenteed , guarenteed for what to be a fake , I think she really believes this coin to be the real thing , she does have a pretty long history so maybe she will return the coin if not real , without the coin in hand it has a 1 % chance it could be legit , go ahead BLAST AWAY , I probably deserve it .

Well at least you tried , others wouldn't have done anything .

here is the pictorial history that I promised. Amazing anyone fell for this piece, isn't it?

 

you might as well buy a copper plated fake for a small fraction of the price.
