<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bones-65, post: 8238063, member: 136030&quot;]Thanks, we got the listing above taking down.</p><p>I&#039;m also on another coin forum and there its COMMON for me to start threads about phony Lincoln&#039;s (09SVDB&#039;s &amp; 14-D&#039;s mainly) actually I just broke 125 threads for phony Lincoln&#039;s.</p><p>In brief the how I got started doing this around in August of 2020 (before I was on any coin forum&#039;s) I had worked my Lincoln collection down to needing the 09SVDB, so I save money did things for extra money and I thought I was ready to buy one, bla.....bla.... and I found one, made what I thought was a great deal of $500.00 (a direct purchase not ebay) well this coin is what I ended up with,</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1449636[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1449637[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, through a series of events I found out is was a fake!! In an attempt to get my money back I cut the coin in half and returned it, a year later in total I $200.00 back.</p><p>I still need the coin for my collection, but I had taken a financial hit that I couldn&#039;t afford at the time. Bla....bla............. I pretty much gave up.</p><p>Well I got on a coin forum got some interest back in getting my bucket list coin and I took a LONG DEEP dive into learning how to spot a fake or counterfeit 09SVDB, in fact about a year I spent going through daily ebay searches of the SVDB&#039;s trying to find a phony, I&#039;d post pictures ONLY of the coin for forum member review, and if they concluded it to be fake I&#039;d then post the link to it.</p><p>Well, needles to say in that year of doing just SVDB&#039;s I got better &amp; better at knowing MOST phonies. I thing took the dive and bought me another SVDB. But so much time had went by for me doing daily ebay searches for these phony coins that I became a habit that&#039;s hard to stop. So, now another year as went by after I bought my SVDB and I&#039;m still looking, I also added the 14-D to my ebay searches.</p><p>I&#039;m not very good at spotting other fake coins, but the SVDB &amp; 14-D keep me busy LoL!</p><p>Another thing I&#039;ve found is lots of times the true scammers of counterfeits will in many cases put up listings for the 09SVDB, and when I post it on the forum some of the other member will do a quick check of the seller&#039;s other items and find lots of other listed phony coins.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>If I end up moving completely to this forum I was just wanting to know how the members here pursued these listings, there are times when I&#039;ll find two in a day. Sometimes if I get two many back to back I&#039;ll just take care of them on my own.</p><p>Thanks for the information[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
