Thanks, pennynickelguy. I've been following this seller for awhile, spotting and reporting what I regard as being some of the more deceptive fakes than most I see on
ebay.
The angled pics of typically damaged key dates will usually appeal to the under-informed collectors or hole-fillers. Thus, it's my impression that the seller is targeting this market. Some of the other fake keys sold have been multiples of the 1914-D, 1909-S Lincoln and the S-mint Indians. Sprinkled in between have been some genuine semi-keys. The seller generally avoids listing too many at one time, as they all have a similarly funky appearance, what with artificial discoloration, marks and modest damage. It's my estimation that the monthly take probably covers household expenses, while the seller flies below the radar, preying upon less astute collectors.
