Zero feedback and has two dodgy 1914-D cents as well. Just posting it because the 1922 might be a new counterfeit for the date.

    If you know anything about the appearance of the real thing, other than the missing “D,” you won’t be fooled by that one. The fact that they can take a direct, 90 degree angle picture of the thing is an immediate warning sign.

    without masses reporting ebay counterfeits, they stay and often not only do they sell, they get positive feedback

    Masses require organization. Start with a sticky thread for fake PCGS slabs.

    Edit: Thank you, Cappy, for sharing the scholarship about the ‘22. You don’t have to chase criminals.
