    struck at the San Francisco mint and is an excellent example of a circulated, uncirculated, small cent.
    Wow! When it is this bad, I don't know whether to want to circulated or uncirculated part of the coin. I can't believe this kind of garbage still gets listed.

    BUT...Try to list an opinion of something or someone, and straight to the naughty people police.

    Yup. 2 different coins. A very well known and obvious counterfeit obverse. Only 1 feedback. Every red flag is there, but people really are this gullible. Sad. Last time I reported an obvious counterfeit, the AI, which is now on charge apparently, told me repeatedly it was fine. eBay is complicit in this fraud because it makes them money. I'm dead serious that a class-action lawsuit needs to be filled on behalf of everyone who has been defrauded.
    Edit: wow, as I was typing, the listing was ended. A small glimmer of hope afterall.

    Even Lincoln looks pissed off on that coin!

    Since the listing was removed, the coin is no longer visible because the "page can't be found".
    Out of curiosity, was it a 1909s VDB?

    Sure was - very obvious with an ugly couterfiet obverse and then he had the stupidity of posting an original UNC rev.

    It amazes me that out of the original 484,000 minted .... 500,000 can be found on eBay in BU.

    So, corroded 1909 VDBs are worth $225 now.
