1944 Steel cent up on eBay. What are the chances the buyer will actually receive this coin?

I say the odds are less than 10% and I think I am being generous.

Zero. Zilch. Nada. Bupkis.

No feedback, no sold history, no other items—despite the username, and joined three days ago.
Where the hell did a seller who uses an AI description get that?
Chances look dodgy.
I think I now know where the seller got the photos. . .

The chance of getting that coin is the same as his feedback rating---ZERO.

Well, that was quick.
When I originally viewed this auction the top bid was $122.00
Now- just a few minutes later has been closed (by the seller).
What is odd is the bidding history within those few minutes.
I honestly don't understand what or why this happened?
Perhaps a change of heart?

"Winning bidder" and "underbidder" both with zero feedback, both with 100% of their bids on this item.
Poor guys. This is a poor experience and may put them off of using eBay in the future. Hopefully they will keep up with their collecting passion!

Just takes one sale like that...
I reported it as a fraudulent listing.

So that’s what laundered money looks like. And it even got slabbed!
Probably have better luck playing the slot machines than actually getting it
Auction ended.
If the coin were uncertified, I would have proclaimed it no good due to what looks like copper peaking out along the forehead and near the bowtie. I would have been wrong.
In my opinion... none!
Last night on Pawn Stars a man walked in with a 1944 P steel cent in a PCGS holder and wanted $102,000 for it. Maybe ii was the same guy?

Having a love for corruption is the bottom line here I would think.
probably shill bidding violation
Crooks are very persistent.
Like a bad penny.
And just like that it's gone!
