These are all ending soon. I don't want any part of these. See those bumpy, pitted surfaces on every coin? They look pretty fake to me..what do you guys think?

I mean, maybe they were all dropped in the same jar of acid. I gotta say, the details look real to me, but most of them have thinner than normal rims. The rough surfaces though are a telltale sign of questionable authenticity.

I would not buy these cents. They look very suspicious to me, with the pitted surfaces, cartoonish look about them and a strange style.

The 1866 Indian Head cent has a strange relief about it with well struck details, yet she's missing the bridge of her nose!

It's hard to draw clear connections between them (other than they're all below-average in apperance), but I agree they don;t have a good "feel" to them.

But as usual on ebay, look how many people are bidding on those. Sure are a lot of people that just don't know.

The 1871 is the only one that looks real to me and, I'm not sure about that one.

They all look suspect to me, but the 1866 is the clincher in the group. Look at the funky rim above the shield on the reverse and the depression in front of the Indian's face.
