I've run across an eBay seller that I'm unfamiliar with and before purchasing anything, I'm curious, based on the following items, on whether members here have an opinion. The seller (dealer) has many Lincoln's minted on dime planchets, as well as a lot of other types of errors. Most appear legit but I'm no expert so would just like some others to chime in. estate-treasures5 LINCOLN MEMORIAL CENT STRUCK ON UNDER-WEIGHT COPPER PLANCHET “Rolled thin, planchet only 2.5 grams, normally 3.1 grams” 1963 LINCOLN CENT STRUCK ON SILVER DIME OFF-METAL ERROR LINCOLN MEMORIAL CENT OBVERSE STRUCK THRU FINE CLOTH ERROR The seller's inventory: https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?ite...&_ssn=estate-treasures5&_pgn=3&_skc=400&rt=nc Thanks in advance for the feed back.
Most of his listings look legit with numerous certified errors; feedback from many different buyers, and seller accepts quite a few offers. I don't see anything that jumps out at me.

Nah! If someone has a "thin skin", you just keep whuppin' them until they toughen up. Let's hope that 2021 is better for everyone!
Thank you so much for the information and effort you went to to provide this information. I just made a purchase from him as a result of your information.
Looks legit to me - especially with AmishJedi's info, but I'm no expert on the coins for sale, that aside - the cloth through Lincoln penny is really cool!
