I found this 1955 Double Die Cent listed on eBay/India and not sure if it is genuine or not..

I know they are faked, and the seller has zero feedback..

http://www.ebay.in/itm/RAREST-EVER-...AOSw8oFXzw3Z

Asking price is 100,000 Rupees (have no idea what that is in U.S. Dollars) and thought someone here can confirm if this is a genuine error or fake..

Item was just relisted at;

http://www.ebay.in/itm/RAREST-EVER-...332023607424?

I'm posting ebay links of fake currency errors on the CCF Counterfeit Forum and didn't want to post this as it MAY be genuine..

If fake, please post reason why, with link on the Counterfeit Forum to be removed..

I think it is genuine but I am not sure if the guy just took the pictures from PCGS or something
Rest in Peace

A lot of 55 DDO's coming into view on the forum lately . I wonder why this one has a different color reverse from the obverse ?

Picture appears to be genuine but I would imagine the coin you receive will be the typical Chinese counterfeit.

100,000 rupees is about $1,500.

I found the original photo...
