Another laughable ‘55 doubled die (relisted)

Seller insists that it’s real and was part of grandpa’s collection. He says his coin guy looked at it and authenticated it. I already reported it to eBay, but the more reports the better. Let’s get this listing pulled.

    Looks like the seller ended the listing. ;)

    Listing has been removed by seller. Still insisting that it’s real, just removing it for my sake he says. What a friggin joke! He’s taking it to another coin shop to have it authenticated 😂🤣😅

    After I provided him pics of an authentic piece and 2 other counterfeits identical to his, he insisted I was wrong and that he had it authenticated by his coin guy. He then said that counterfeit coins weren’t made over 50 years ago. Totally idiotic. Damn, I laid into that lad😂🤣 don’t know what got into me but man was I merciless 🤣😂😝😎 maybe he’ll think twice before he lists another bogus coin.🤔🤨

    Yes, he’s a happy chap, in that one. Lincoln never looked so dapper.

    It looks like the variety of counterfeit that’s been floating around for years with a coat of dark toning.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Glad to see it is gone... but likely will be back. Thanks for the picture - obvious fake. Cheers, RickO

    Not even a well done fake.

    All glory is fleeting.

    I’m watching him like a hawk. I don’t think he wants another dose of what I gave him though😂🤣😝

    Check this piece out. Found this one quite some time ago. It’s an identical fake but in a fake PCGS holder. Can’t believe someone would put such a poor fake in a holder and try to pass it off as authentic.

    With any fake, you definitely need to know your series.

    This seller is a real 🤬🤬🤬like ricko said “it will be back”. Seller has relisted this counterfeit and has threatened to report me to eBay for harassment. I already reported it, but the more reports the better. Let’s get this off of eBay. This seller knows what he’s doing and is intentionally trying to sell a fake.
