Well... The Queens lips looks a bit funky but, I can't see anyone copying a 1985, even though it is a 'pointed' 5.  Where's 'nickelsguy'... OH.. and sorry.. Welcome to CCF...   Edited by SHAFTA9a

I have this coin listed on ebay and a user j_coiner6 who also calls himself Jake. He sent me a very nasty message. Below: This isn't a pointed. If you don't have this removed in 12 hours ebay will do it for you. I am part of the coin community ebay fake/replica and false auctions committee. - j_coiner6 Click "respond" to reply through Messages, or go to your email to reply Respond 1985 Canadian Penny with a pointed 5 1985 Canadian Penny with a pointed 5 Item Id: 181205121050 End time: 04-Sep-13 01:22:09 EDT Buyer: j_coiner6 (273) 98.8% Positive Feedback Member since 23-Jul-12 in Canada Location: ON, Canada Listing Status: This message was sent while the listing was active. I asked him to send me a picture of a real 1985 pointed 5 One cent coin. he sent this photo. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...nt65cent.jpg this is where the picture is from as you can see. and the message is as follows Dear zingo-zingo, You're such an idiot. They used the EXACT same dies for 1964-2003. They just modified different dates and obverse. Jake.

I wish I could be here without this problem because this looks like a great site for asking about coins. Thanks if you reply to this and if you know this Jake person please let him know that he shouldn't be so mean to people! Chuck |

I think the confusion is from the title. What the OP means is misattributed not fake. It is a real coin. He just wants to know if it is in fact a pointed 5 or blunt 5. The experts should be along shortly.

I'm sorry I would have to say that it isn't a misunderstanding at all. He isn't trying to inform me or ask if its a pointed 5 or blunt 5. he is telling me to get it off of ebay in 12 hours. no explaining nothing. This makes me frustrated sorry if I sound rude but he is just being a *** Edited by Staff | The bad word filter is in place for a reason. Bypassing the filter and making the intended word obvious anyway is completely unacceptable. *** disturber Chuck |

It's pointed 5! The pointed for 1985 is not as pronounced as the 1965 pointed variety but this coin fits the description. The blunt 1985 is very straight down line. Tell the guy to leave you alone as you are not falsely listing anything

I'm pretty sure that the member with the ebay handle of j_coiner6 is jakedacc. If so, maybe he would like to chime in on this. Judging be the picture on coinsandcanada website, I would have to say that this looks like a legit pointed 5. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...nt-1965-2012 |

I have already talked to 1PPCLI about this situation and apologized on the fact that the pictures were not clear on my mobile device and did contact him regarding this situation. I do admit that I made an error not realizing that there is a large difference between a pointed 5 on a 1965 and a pointed 5 on a 1985. I never called is coin a 'fake' more or less believed it was a blunt 5 by mistake. But don't let this member deceive you. I will refrain from copying and pasting the replies he gave me seeing that this is a family sight but ebay is pretty heated up about the language and very abusive responses he replied with. It all started with me messaging him saying it wasn't a pointed (in my honest mistake I already messaged him and replied to him about these circumstances) but his reaction completely blew this out of proportion. This is your ebay case 1PPCLI Report SR# 1-13277845218 "Hello Jacob, Thank you for contacting us about reporting a particular seller for abusing ebay system. We will fully investigate this and take the appropriate action once we find a sufficient evidence and as much as we would like to send a result of the investigation as for ebay policy everything will be private. Reported Seller ID: zingo-zingo We appreciate your understanding. Thanks, ebay CS, Froilan, (SR#: 1-13276930854)" |

Dear zingo-zingo, This isn't a pointed. If you don't have this removed in 12 hours ebay will do it for you. I am part of the coin community ebay fake/replica and false auctions committee. j_coiner6 This is the last I'm going to say about this and then it's time to move on. The above statement is not justified, "Take your coin off in 12 hours or e-bay will do it for you" is a threat! It is unprovoked and you should be suspended for it. You called me a Idiot and I called you a Loser, those are the harshest words used in all of the messages back and forth. The reason I get so upset at this is because I was in the Infantry for 19 years and have 6 tours of duty in all parts of the world. I didn't do all that so I could come back to my own country and be harassed by you! next time please ensure you have positive ID on your target! BEFORE you pull the trigger! I don't hold grudges, life is to short for that. Let's move on Jake. Like Forest Gump would say "And that's all I have to say about that" |

Not trying to throw gasoline on the fire, but that seems like kind of the wrong way to go about trying to correct a misattributed listing? I know a lot of ccf members 'patrol' ebay, but I didn't realize there was a committee on fake/replica auctions... I would be pretty annoyed myself if that had happened to me, especially if I was correct... Again, not trying to get anyone annoyed but I kind of think that that kind of confrontational approach may do more harm than good... My 2 cents... |
