Additional coins from this seller looks suspect also.
Especially the 1875-H 25c and the US 1916 quarter.

That is interesting date wear, I love the 1916 quarter, 3 worn numerals, then something that just doesn't look right. Anything for a buck I guess.

I have just reported this to ebay ..I also asked the seller to please remove this as it is without a doubt a counterfeit 1921 Many things are wrong but just the date itself is enough |

The 9 and 2 doesn't even look natural, I'd say it's a fake.  |

The 1875 has also been reported to ebay , and another message to the seller politely asking him to remove his crap before he faces the big guns.... |

This is a very a poor fake. Several of the items have very similar wear on their rims.

Looks like a forgery, I also made a complaint to E-bay for follow-up. F.Y.I.: item is located in Austria. "Your report is just one factor we review. To determine the action we take, we'll consider the type of violation you're reporting and how it may impact other ebay members. If the listing doesn't follow our guidelines, it may be removed. However, in some cases, the listing may stay on ebay, and we may contact the member to provide training. We also may place limits on the member's ability to buy or sell on ebay. To protect the privacy of all of our members, we're unable to share the action we take." Glenn  |

nickelsguy,
I have been practicing using your pictures, I thought the fake 1921 five cent was more like the "Big Tree" sample, based on the "2" and "9". What makes you say it is more like a HK die?
Thanks in advance... Marc

yes but look at his/her feedback and the tons of other coins that have already been sold, there are a lot of rare ones that he sold with none that I saw being certified..
