1930 Penny looks genuine

You would think the seller would remove from holder and put up a few more closeup photos of the 1930 , i couldn't be bothered to strain my eyes if real or not , anyone that bids on that is a bidiot

That sends off warning bells,flashing lights & a lock down,why would anyone(except a complete moron) not take a $20,000 coin out of a 20c holder to photo.

Quote from: 'accumulator' pid='52478' dateline='1402726484'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 .

Yeah,but still looks wonky to me.

If that's the case, and it is a date change, this is possibly a 1931 Dropped 1 Indian Obverse penny.
A coin rarer than the 1930 penny itself.

Who knows but i think the 3 is wrong as well without starting on the 9 or 1,it may also be another Chinese copy,they're very close to getting them near perfect.
Its not a dropped 1 Indian,member on this Forum has one and there is a dot after the S on the Obverse apparently. Trying to find photo. in another Thread.

Photos are terrible.
But I'd say its genuine.
Who knows what you would actually get though...

Well, I sent the seller an email and to date, no response at all.

maybe that will tell us all something.

It wouldn't be that hard to remove a dot, the unscrupulous do it to 1920 pennies, not that I think this happened to this coin.

I've got no doubt Neal,there are some very clever people out and about looking to exploit on-line market places.

The 1931 Indian dropped 1 photo is on page 111.
