edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 1:14 pm I've been watching this act for over a year now. The seller is checkpoint18 from Ponce, Puerto Rico. He's gotten slicker in the past year and now calls them "Weak D or No D Lincoln head cent, almost gone." haha lol. He used to call them just No D. I did a brief count via his feedback, and stopped at 20 of these that he has sold. IMO they are altered 1922 Ds. There is also another seller from the same exact town in PR that sells the same stuff. At first glance this coin might look ok, but imo the date area has been altered and he even filed off some of the LIBERTY to make it look good. The strong reverse is wrong. He's been getting away with this for a long time. I've messaged him at times and reported him at others. Maybe a group effort could take him down. reported. http://www.ebay.com/itm/331605741322 Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 2:17 pm He's up to something, these are rare and it looks like he's sold quite a few. One was very dark, likely covered with grime to hide the alteration. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 3:43 pm Thanks for the warning, edweather. I think anyone would be crazy to buy one of these raw, especially on E-bay. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 6:13 pm This seller and their sister account have probably sold about 50 of these things in the past couple of years. Like BadThad said, and I agree, a lot of them are dark like they went through a fire or something, to hide the alteration. There's no way they have an endless supply of these raw, not to mention that 99% of them are altered. They seem to have found a safe (albeit criminal) niche. But to the ignorant buyer, who thinks they are getting a great ebay deal, there is no defense against. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 07/16/2015 2:58 pm I have seen very few, genuine DP 1, 3, & 4 in the market. Physically, at shows and dealers, I've seen exactly TWO and likely ~10-15 on the web. I still stand my theory that they (1, 3, & 4) are more scarce than the popular DP2's. I run into the DP2 pretty often, too bad the prices are off the charts, I still refuse to buy a DP2 due to the inflated prices. Lincoln Cent Lover!

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 07/16/2015 9:03 pm Slicko also blasted some of the LIBERTY off to make the RTY look recut, like on the genuine ones. He's learning. I posted 8 months ago on this seller. https://goccf.com/t/189013 Edited by edweather 07/16/2015 9:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
