Another fake 1930 penny selling for more that 10k?

dreamcatcher · June 15, 2013, 11:20:45 AM

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?

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.

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?
