Dearborn Moderator United States 97083 Posts	Posted 12/02/2025 06:41 am I wonder just how bad they are - almost tempted to buy one to see it (almost) seller has zero feedback, but the item is located in the US Quote: Located in: Schenectady, New York, United States But the seller (according to his profile) is located in Australia and just joined ebay in Oct 2025 Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

mrwiskers Pillar of the Community United States 1780 Posts	Posted 12/02/2025 08:01 am I sold a dozen eagles 2 weeks ago to my LCS ... as the buyer was going through the stack, he casually tossed one aside..."this is fake"...he says ... ..."?" said I "...don't you want to take it out of the holder & weigh & test it?..." ..."no need" ... he says ..."look at it"... I quickly compared it to one of the other (genuine) Eagles ... "Good Grief!"... "the surfaces are a dead give-a-way!"... he smiled & nodded ... ...in January, this year, I had purchased the counterfeit along with 2 other (genuine) from a guy selling his father's coin collection... I had just began buying eagles, & didn't notice any difference then ... I don't believe the son, or dad, knew the difference, either ... ...comparing (in hand), the surface on the counterfeit had (under slight magnification) a grainy appearance, compared to genuine Eagles' surfaces (regardless of matte, satin, etc.) ... ...Lesson learned!...the dealer knew immediately, & the difference, in hand, is striking ... but, not so much in a stock photo ... ...here's said offender, after some added "privy marks" ...

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25413 Posts	Posted 12/03/2025 10:06 pm Quote: here's said offender I have a fake ASE given to me by a LCS in NOLA where I buy lots of stuff. He had a stack that someone brought in to sell. The guy's secretary's friend had a friend (I think that's how it went) who needed cash in a hurry and would sell them for half price. The guy smelled easy money, bought them, then went to the LCS to cash in. I still haven't taken pics of it - hopefully soon.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25413 Posts	Posted 12/03/2025 10:09 pm IIRC, one of you also got one of these "how can you pass up this deal" offer from a seller on ebay. Yeah, the way to get me to buy your coin is by INCREASING the price. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97083 Posts	Posted 12/04/2025 12:37 pm yeah, I've had 'offers' like that - I politely declined the offer explaining that I didn't want it at the lower price, so Why would I buy it at the higher offer price..

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10592 Posts	Posted 12/06/2025 6:23 pm Looks like either acid or blow torch damage - or both! 1955 Double Die Obverse Wheat Lincoln Penny- Rare Big Full DDO- Lowest On ebay US $1,499.00 ebay item number:236027357106 For sale is a Rare 1955 Double Die Obverse Wheat penny. This is the Big One, with complete double die obverse with the date, motto, & legend words all fully doubled. An exceptionally hard to find Wheat penny. A great addition to any collection. Mid Grade Details: Strong details on the reverse wheat ears and on Lincoln's bust on the front, however it's obvious this coin has been cleaned. I also added a few pictures at the end of the important die marker lines on the reverse side, left of the "T" in "Cent". Report this Post to the Staff
