The surfaces on that one are funny looking. I would stay away from it

Agreed. If the coin surfaces look in hand like they look in the photo, I would steer clear. The mint mark does not look right either.

Get familiar to what is real and the others will stick out like a sore thumb.  |

Detail is not sharp, indicating a copy from an original.
It is possible that not even the seller knows this.
Compare with coop's various pictures of the dates and the VDB: note how sharp they are by comparison.

1955 double die can be worth some large amounts of money. But the thing is, you should buy a coin graded by a third party if planning on buying an error coin or something worth a lot. Like that Wheat cent you just posted does look strange. I would pass on buying it. |

I don't know if it's a fake or not but the surface doesn't look right. I would stay away from it!  |
