Was looking at 1955 DDO Lincolns on Ebay and stumbled upon this???

Now I know some pictures are just plain bad and then some pictures are bad but you can still get a good idea of what you are bidding on and some of us have been known to score big off of taking those chances. In this case the coin almost looks plastic and the features on the obverse don't even look close to being legit to me. I also see that the winner left positive feedback for the transaction so is it just me or does this not look like a legitimate mint issued coin

Definitely fake.

Not even a good fake.

Lincoln looks really off to me. Someone got took!

[michael]

i love it

 

my take/grade on this coin is $4 dollars

 

someone/seller got a steal

 

but that is what you find in a liquor store as per the seller

 

i hear the seller also found a 1909 s vdb

 

 

and i am REALLY looking forward to seeing that coin

Looks like the error packet of plastic pennies i used to use for school use back in 1st grade.

Haha!

I wonder if WC Fields ever played Abe Lincoln in a movie- maybe that is how they came up with this coin?

[wheat'swheats]

You really need to find out who got that one, and get it for your collection. It is a must for any serious Lincoln Cent collector.

It's a early chinese fake from probably seven or eight years ago back when all of their fakes were laughable and easy to spot.at arms length. Hope the buyer enjoys his nearly $1K "error" (Mistake)

[Hard Times]

First impression: Looks like the profile of Bill Clinton with a beard, not Abe Lincoln. Definitely fake.....

 

Best, HT

I don't collect Lincoln cents and even I could tell it was a fake. Yikes! It was two bidders with low feedback numbers doing battle for this extremely rare fake.

 

At least the seller has a 14 day money back policy. I wonder if the buyer will use it.

Hey guys.... even though Im not a cents guy, or a grader of cents, or anything else that anyone should put any confidence in when it comes to cents, or sense for that matter......

 

I think we should all be able to agree that this here "whateveritis" is in great condition....

I mean, its definitely UNC, and definitely RED!!!! At least it has that going for it.

The seller, brooklyn0503 also has a bridge for sale.

I guess ebay isn't fielding complaints so much any more on items that are clearly fake. I was checking out "centsles"'s listings the other day and he had many counterfeits being listed, in most cases indicated in the listing. Even with the good stuff on ebay there has been a significant drop off on strength of interest in my experience, partly due to weaker precious metals.
