I'm with you; that mint-mark is 100% fake. It looks too, well, tiny and thin, I guess you would say, and too sharp for a well circulated coin. In that quarter's grade, a real mint-mark would appear as not much more than an S shaped blob. In higher grades the mint-marks are still larger and thicker than this one. I'd report this to ebay if I were you. It was just listed, so if you report it now, it will be taken off before the auction ends. |

Well a good friend gave me some great advice when it comes to rare key date coins...read the book before you buy the coin, and when in doubt buy certified authentic coins thought this would be a interesting thread

I am going to say a fake. As mentioned, that MM is far to thin and lite IMO.

Too sharp, wrong location, etc. Agreed it's an altered coin fake.

It looks almost even photoshopped. Doesn't fit at all.

I'm in agreement with all the above. I would avoid the auction coin.
