I think the images have been manipulated. Maybe a sharpen filter and some color enhancement?

I don't know how but the toning does look alittle odd. If you can get combined shipping and not pay too much, the coins themselves look good tho.

This oldtimer thinks the Lincolns may well have been cleaned and then artificially retoned; perhaps, in some Chinese factory. Note the lighter coloration about the details and devices, yet there's a lack of lustre on the so-called, high grade UNC. The surfaces look suspiciously granular, too. In checking the 35 negative feedback notices, those appear to be from a 100% rated buyer, referencing the sales of many so-called high grade Lincolns. It may be that the seller is posting these coins for a third party? Regardless, I'd stay away .... unless, you can get that 22-D for but a few bucks to satisfy curiosity! Check out the D mintmark on that 1914-D.

An often missed useful tool for checking out ebay sellers is..... Google! Presuming that most news is bad news, you can find whether there is bad press by typing the ebay Screen name into google. nancye913 |

The photos are being edited to remove imperfections. The coin won't look this good when you receive it. CWB's links say it all.

the thing that bothers me is what I don't see. there should be some crap in the e or c or a there is none . There is some ware on the left wheat so it has been in circulation. I think it has been chemically cleaned and retoned  |

I think that these cents are just exceptional specimens out of the millions and millions produced there have to be some really fine looking ones with pristine surfaces. I just don't see someone going though all of the trouble to alter the surfaces just to make it more saleable!
