1930 Ebay Penny

[r9453]

Not sure where to put this or if it deserves a place at all.

Item number: 140980886572

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

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.
