Not sure where to put this or if it deserves a place at all.
Item number: 140980886572 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140980886572?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649)
The date looks awful but at least it has correct weight?
Another shocker,the 3 is at least 1 mm smaller than the rest of the numbers.
The Penny on the scales!!!,geez,i can't understand people buying something that hasn't been authenicated,$7000+ is a lot of money to gamble on the 1 in a hundred chance its genuine.
Definitely a fake.
All the buyer had to do was look at this
http://www.thesandpit.net/coinshop/1930_penny.html
and they could have saved themselves $7,700.
It is quite a good altered date but it has a Birmingham reverse and English Obverse so is definitely a fake. I don't know why people don't do their homework before making these purchases.

It's not an altered date, it's a modern reproduction.
There's no real wear anywhere on the coin,chinese copy !
