Dearborn Moderator United States 97162 Posts	Posted 11/19/2022 8:33 pm Thanks Thad, I tend to agree with you, but the only way to really tell was to have it in hand. If the seller had posted up pictures like I did up above, it would have been a no brainer to NOT buy it. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19964 Posts	Posted 11/19/2022 11:27 pm I've bought a few whizzers on the web, it happens. Notice the characteristic black cupric oxide spot on the head. It's easy to see how I got tricked by crappy pictures, one of my reverse pics almost looks good....until you move the light and look at a different angle. Perhaps the best tell-tail sign of whizzing is it always affects the wheat lines. The get smoothed by the wheel. Lincoln Cent Lover!

KYCopperCoins Pillar of the Community United States 1361 Posts	Posted 11/23/2022 08:52 am I took a gamble on a 36 proof with bad pics and won with a satin proof listed as a brilliant that went pr64rb for 200ish....but based on those pics it definitely would have been a hard pass regardless. Too many indicators of a business strike there, rims or planchet flaws, whichever those hits are are definitely indication of circulation. There are also die markers for the proofs for that date you could also reference, low mintage as it is, same with matte proofs from 1909-1916, which I've cherrypicked multiples of so they are still out there, I know of at least 8 cherrypicks or so in the last 2 years.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97162 Posts	Posted 11/23/2022 5:56 pm Well I sent that (this very) coin back to the sell, got my refund, now that the seller got his coin back he re-listed it with the exact wording and photo he had before. 295350280139 Collecting since 1972.

VERY deceptive photos and a liar...it is NOT a proof. I've seen plenty of these over the years. The worst part for me was checking back in a few weeks and seeing a fool left positive feedback for it.
