What do you think it is? It looks like an 'S' that has been fiddled with. I dont know.

 

yes it has

 

If you did not already do so, please report it to Ebay. I did, but the more, the better. Here's a link for reporting - thanks: http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...Coins+&wftype=2022&userid=&pass=&redirected=1

 

I did as well. Thanks for the link mark.

 

I called the coin Dr and this is what he said. Your gonna get robbed if you buy that coin.

 

I ratted on him. Thats a SELLER that knows what hes selling. Some times you can find a real good deal on ebay, Or come across some one selling something well beyond there knowledge and score big time. But NO in the case of the tooled mint mark and blurry pic.

 

Thanks for the heads-up, Mark. I posted up.

 

The pic is actually pretty good. It clearly shows this is bogus. Looks like a blob of solder on a '16-P.

 

Thanks guys.

 

looks like its also been photoshopped to make the mm appear blurrier than it is

 

He knows it's not real hence all of the disclaimers.

I'm next to report.

clembo

 

Check out what he wrote as a follow up in his listing now.

 

I have reported him.
Thanks for the link Mark

 

User ID's are kept private..It's a bad fake. not even close. I don't understand why people even bid on this coin.

 

I just e-mail the person that I was reporting him to ebay, and this is the answer I got. "It's not a fake. It is real. You are silly".

 

Wow Ed! Are you silly? Or maybe just pointed out the glaring truth which could be construed as silly by a scammer?

 

thats a really bad fake

 

I doubt it will have any impact on the seller, but just sent the following message to him through EBay:

"Congratulations, hundreds of people are watching this auction and know it's not really a 1916-D dime - you are ruining your Ebay reputation with this listing. Not that you care, or you probably wouldn't have listed it in the first place, but I can tell you as an ex-NGC grader and full time dealer of 25 plus years that a genuine D mint-mark looks nothing like that. Do yourself a favor and end the bogus listing yourself before Ebay does so."

 

Bet he'll like that a lot. Only problem is he probably won't believe a word you say (the NGC thing especially).
