The listing is here...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1943-S-Us-...372513280285

In your opinion does it look fake or real? I'm pretty sure it's just a good Chinese fake or it's been plated. Seriously... What are the odds of a real 1943-D copper cent? There is only ONE known example from the Denver Mint. (the listing says "S" but it's a "D").

Should we report it? The seller has 2 feedbacks. The current bid at the time of my post is US $671.00

I feel that some fool is going to get ripped off...

Looks counterfeit to me.

The Seller having very low feedback and awfully dirty fingernails says a lot about the listing, too!

Listing has been reported. With only 7 hrs left in the listing It'll be a miracle if ebay pulls it.

The link says the item can't be displayed, so I assume it was pulled.

Yup, it must have been pulled. I hope the account is gone also. There's no good reason that a coin like that shouldn't be slabbed by one of the top three grading services.
