numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 10:41 pm By the way, at my local coin show today, a 1909 VDB with an added S was brought to the ICG table for grading. It was immediately rejected. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 11:06 pm That penny does not appear to be marked with "COPY". If it is a COPY/Reproduction as the seller claims, and not an added mint mark or overstrike, that would make it a counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
numismaniac Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 07:23 am I tend to agree with the posters who think this coin will be back on ebay within the next couple of weeks. There were 2 bidders at the end of that auction that really bid it up to ridiculous levels. I might be going a bit too far and don't intend to accuse anyone of anything dishonest (Legal disclaimer LOL) but I don't see how you bid that much without looking at the coin or description again before you raise your bid over and over.

How can someone be sneaky and tricky about it when it is NOT even listed with the real Lincoln cents? Quote: Listed in category: Coins & Paper Money > Coins: US > Replicas & Reproductions If someone is too stupid to keep themselves from bidding real money on a coin properly listed in the Replica & Reproduction category, then I have zero sympathy for them. The seller had it properly listed and did nothing wrong other than have some bidiot win the auction Report this Post to the Staff

If it is not real, and lacks "COPY" on the coin itself, it is in violation, is it not? Unless it was made before 1973. Of course the problem is determining when it was made.

lelliott608 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 4:37 pm That particular seller also had a 1913 V nickel, a 1937-D 3-legged Buffalo nickel, and a 1793 Liberty Large Cap cent for sale. I don't think anyone would be fooled by a fake 1913, but that doesn't mean they won't circulate back around in ebay, Craigslist, flea markets, or antique malls [as authentic] if they aren't marked as 'copy'. I also agree that the wording was a bit 'soft' on the fact that it was a copy. He definitely left the door open to lead people to believe that he knew nothing about coins and that they may have been real.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWAX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWAX:IT Report this Post to the Staff

Yes, but you would be amazed at the thousands of "unknown sixth specimen"'s that turn up. And it is also surprizing how difficult it is to convince their owners that they aren't real, even with pictures that show how their coins are very different from the real ones. All they can see is 1913 and dollar signs. Report this Post to the Staff
