Well, the 1858 is obviously a fake; could not match any ID markers; besides it just looks too good. Thanks for catching this one.
I know less than zero about small cents so I've no opinion.

Isn't this a lot more serious then usual. Usually we're dealing with a seller from China or Russia, but this person is in Canada can't the rcmp follow up on this one.

Reported.

FYI, just because the listing says they're in Canada, doesn't mean they are.

This is true;
My ebay profile says that I'm in the USA;
I have it this way so that I don't get blocked from some USA-sellers auctions.

I have no idea why the 1923 cent would be faked... it's not like these in low grade are getting $100 - I thought the only ones being faked were ones that most people simply couldn't afford to acquire;
Since I have 1905 to date (including most variations) I wouldn't think that it would be susceptible to be faked...

Could someone point out the markers please. I think I know, but I cant be certain. Its a great teaching opportunity. I love large cents.

First, the date look at the 8's not even close to original, second, the 7th leaf the vine break is way to wide, there are more I suspect.
