1856 cent is an altered 1858 cent. the style of 5 is definitely not of the 1856. the rest is too blurry.
1913D nickel. altered 1913 t2. the mint mark is not the correct style for the time period. it looks closest to a 1985-86 D.
the rest I cant tell but 2 counterfeits make me question their authenticity

Everything he has sold appears to be fake. The 1870 and 1871 Indian Head cents were the most obvious since they used the wrong obverse hub type. |

Judging from those other auctions, it appears that guy knows exactly what he's doing.  Edited by KurtS

After you pay $600 for a fake 1909-S IHC in AU condition, things like these have a way making me mad, you know...  |

Gotcha--I've become very careful too. I once bid on a Tag-Heuer watch on ebay that turned out to be a fake. Luckily I spotted that before paying, but the seller actually had the the gall to threaten legal action against me. So I countered with some legal action of my own--I faxed his auction numbers to Tag-Heuer's legal counsel. Checkmate.  Edited by KurtS

He also can't spell anything right. I looked at all of his previous auctions and in each one, there is always a mispelled word. I wonder how old this person is...making counterfeits

Seller received positive feedback on: 1899 CC morgan: $1600 1923 Half Penny: $620 1913 D Buff Nickel: $100 1921 Peace dollar: $93 1909 S IHC: $457 Negative feedback was related to shipping. Not too shabby, really. |

I wrote to the winner: "I'm curious to know if you're satisfied with your purchase of the 1856 FE Cent. If it's an authentic 1856 Flying Eagle cent, congratulations on your purchase." |

It's been two days and no reply from this buyer, not even a "thank you, I'll check it out."
This same guy bought a 1914-D Lincoln that looks fake too.

A couple of months ago I was shopping ebay for a Lincoln 1955 DDO. I was amazed at the number of fakes for sale. And.....they all sold but one! I did blow the whistle on one of them that was just too obvious. Amazing what fools we can become when we think we are buying a key coin for half the real value. afernbaugh |

quote:
Conder, for 1870 there are three reverse types:
Type 1: Shallow N
Type 2: Bold N over Shallow N rehubbing (I have one of these)
Type 3: Bold N.
I said wrong OBVERSE hub type. Edited by Conder101
