looks alright to me, but the toning makes it near impossible to grade.
going on what I normally go on, a lot of positive feedback is a good indication.

The lustre looks all wrong to me. I think the denticles are fine but that colour is questionable. Might have had a spray with something or maybe a dip. As always its hard to tell from dodgy photos.
I would not be buying this.

not buying just trying to learn, but maybe I better get my eyes checked again as well

Probably not a fake - a 1940 penny simply wouldnt be worth faking.

I dont think it is fake but looks like it has been touched up.

I wouldnt call it high grade though, cant make out anything but bad colour.

Looks OK just lousy pic's. Not like the seller is asking a million dollars for this pretty ordinary coin, could be a bargain. No pun intended.  Shipping is BS but  |

I think the lesson that can be learned from this listing is that if you post lousy pics you arn't going to get a good sale price.
I agree, it could be a bargain

I've actually put a bid on this one. More out of morbid curiosity than the desire to own the coin  If I get it I'll post a pic I've won a few of these "lousy pic" coins on ebay and about 25% of the time you get a winner. A lot better results than I get on my rare bets on the horses  |

my best ever parlay win was a mistake, some how I mixed up the numbers of race 2 and 3 which both won along with my first and fourth race selections. that mistake won me $1100 for a $7 bet. as I recall ice cream sundae won the last leg at about $15.

The fingerprint on it will probably ensure there's no more bids.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

The seller seems to be half decent so it will be interesting to see if trout (currently 999 post) is onto a winner. Better pics would be good to see.
