I wonder why you would put a 1930 penny on Ebay.
Don't have to wait long for a coin auction from a reputable  auction house to happen.

they prob take way to much fees, then gst, tax and everyone else, if I put a 1930 of the bay, would have put more than two pics up, and a close up of date, ya know.. just saying

At an auction he might not get a higher bid, the auctioneers fees (buyers and sellers) will take 20%+ and it might take months.

I have sent the seller an email asking for more detailed scans.

I shall post here if I get and answer.

I was told you can count the dots "denticles", the zero is a certain way and the dots don't line up with certain letters, but without a certain detailed pic, I just don't bother, I didn't put effort into learning penny like I did threepence

[robbiegal]

yes AC there is a certain science to these rare coins
seller mostly sells children's clothing items so perhaps not a collector/seller who understands the coin?

personally I think that the con is a fake

Yeah,me too,about 90% sure its a fake,left hand(as you look at it) side of zero looks a bit fat but really a job for experts to decide.
Museum specimen on left.

prob its a 1936 with altered 6 into a 0, I have seen that many a time

[accumulator]

The ALIA looks like they line up correctly & the obverse is Indian , you would expect the 0 to look a little different to the Proof .

[robbiegal]

only a $15,500  gamble if it's a fake

Absolutely Robbie, there is no way in hell that i would ever consider buying anything that was valued at more than a few bucks on photo's like that let alone  15.5K .
