1930 on eBay

It's harshly cleaned so the grade and value are not correct but as far as authenticity is concerned, perhaps I'm missing something but I cannot find anything wrong with it.

I am NO way an expert on these but why on earth would anyone use that crappy slabbing mob for a 1930 penny unless there was something seriously wrong with the coin and the seller "Knows It" and that it wouldn't pass the scrutiny of NGC or PCGS.
Blue sheet value for a F12 coin is $19,500.
Just seems like a devious listing to me :ok:

Me thinks the "0" in the date is out of alignment.

The "O" does look a bit Shifty. Well spotted Bruce :good:

Not a type of coin I would buy from a greedBay suss seller
APCGS who the hell are they?

I admit these guys aren't up there with the overseas guys, but in any case, you have to buy the coin, not the holder.

The 1930 appears to tick all the boxes for being geniune. The date is ok in my opinion. (1930 off Sterling / Currency image on right)

The value seems to fit around the aF range, straight out of McDonald's guide. As emu mentioned, the cleaning detracts but it has nice rims. I wouldn't be surprised to see a coin like this get bids @ $15,000 at Auction (without buyers premium)

As for APCGS. I wouldn't write the coins they slab off. The can and will get legit coins and I have seen examples where they grade lower than what I believe PCGS would.
