Below is a link to another fake 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent on ebay.
The "S" mintmark is not as bad looking as the one in the "auctionkings" listing I posted previously, however, the last photo in the listing clearly shows the "Deep N" in "UNITED" on the reverse which indicates the coin is not a genuine 1909-S VDB.
I reported it, so let's see if we can get this removed before it ends in 4 days.

Actually, because the mintmark looks so good (and looks like position #3), I suspect this one has an added "VDB" which looks suspect to me. Many of the 1909-S cents have the "Deep N" in "UNITED", so I think the "added VDB" is the most likely alteration done in this case.
it looks completely fake, as if from cast dies.

So ebay said they “found nothing wrong” with the AI bot. I forgot, how do I report it to bypass AI? I thought the new procedure of clicking the “?” in the corner and adding photos ensured someone human would actually review it 😡
Many more are doing it 🤨
Reported.
they knew enough to show the vdb
Yeah it’s the “VDB dots on the border variety” 🤣

Actually a shame someone ruined a high grade 1909-S cent to create that thing.
Reported again, from my other account. Maybe it will stick given there are multiple reports now.

Well, allegedy a “customer service” agent reviewed my second report, with the same useless result:
I contacted seller as the President of the PNG told him his coin was counterfeit
Very polite correspondence
He took it down...hopefully it stays off

Well, we are 3 for 3 so far, and the first 2 was the same coin.
