Hi guys. This one looks pretty bad in my opinion. The "9" in 1930 looks bizarre and completely different to other pennies. Bids are currently above $10,000!

What do you guys think?
Dreamcatcher
They obviously didn't see this

Its an obvious Chinese dud.
They "re-tone" them now so they look the part instead of being bright and shiny.
My guess is the bids are shill bids.
Surprise surprise it's a London obverse too.
what a shocker , rips you off on postage too , just a tuuuurd , :dodgy: very dodgy

Umm.. his CHINGLISH teacher maybe? :angel:
Seriously, ebay don't care. They've proven that often enough. :(
Listing has been removed by ebay .......
Good to see ................... :yahoo:
My reading of the various articles on "How to pick a fake 1930 penny" suggests this isn't the genuine article based on the lineup of the "ALIA" and the final upstroke of the "N" in OMN with the denticles.

Am I on the right track? Irrespective, what was used to clean it... sandpaper?
Steve
Oh look, it's go234coins again ........ and hasn't he some lovelies for sale this time!
PS: I reckon it was a heavy grade sandpaper at that!
My favourite would be the UNC 1938! :laugh2:
I reported the 30 penny,hopefully they'll pull before some poor sucker puts a bid on it,but i won't hold my breath.
Another chinese fake 1930 ...... oh, bought at a garage sale!!

I have reported this.
But my guess is that some idiot will get ripped off.
There is a real need for ebay to do something about these scams.
I've seen these chinese copies sell for over $10000 via similar scams.

It's difficult.
eBay can't be expected to scrutinize every single item that gets listed with them. Even with items that get reported as fakes, they have to give the seller the right of reply and probably the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise there would be a lot of vexatious reporting.
In the end it is "buyer beware". As galling as it is to see scammers ripping people off, the buyers have to take some responsibility. One suggestion is to wait until the buyer has left feedback so you can contact them and tell them its a fake (I have done this before). It may be too late to get a refund but it is a learning experience for them
Well that was quick ....... the latest listing above has now been removed (not just ended).
I think it's an ebay policy to get rid of any sign of fraudulent listings so nothing can come back on them,or it certainly seems that way.
That makes sense Accumulator. I guess there's no need to bury your head in the sand when there's nothing to see!
