Was hitting ebay again. Forgive me if you think I am making an outrageous claim, but the 1 in 1921 looks altered. And what about that mint mark? What do you guys think? - coincrazed

Looks like it was a 5 or 6. Now you're not suggesting someone would take a $2 or $3 merc and make into a $210 one are you?

Something definitely looks fishy with the one, but I am no where near an expert on these. Lest see what others have to say.

Here are some pics:

Altered - I was thinking it started as a 7 also....the first and second 1's are SO different, I wonder why folks would bid it up so high.

I'd need better pictures for sure before this coin would interest me, but in the interest of discussion, especially where the similarity between 1's is of concern, ANACS didn't have a problem with the one I have provided a link to below. The digits are clearly dissimilar. There's some Machine Doubling as well, so there's some "background noise" around that last digit.

The jury's still out for me...and no way to make a real determination from that picture.

Of course he isn't answering because he knows it isn't legit too.Just hoping that the sucker who buys it from him doesn't notice before the 7 days is up.

Completely different on the Anacs coin too.

You gave the guy 3 1/2 hours to be at your beck and call on a Sunday before burying him publicly. That's fair.

Fioti didn't bury anybody. Just stated the seller hasn't replied to emails.

The 1 in 1921 definitely looks very suspicious!

Here's my 1921D to compare:
