Suspicious auction, raw 1922 No D cent

Link to auction

Among the red flags: private auction, very high value coin being sold raw, 10% restocking fee, and to top that all off the obverse photo looks like it was photoshopped to remove the mintmark. Last but not least, based on his feedback, most of his private auctions sold to the same buyer. Does anyone here see any reason to take a chance on an auction like this?

Well, it's been cleaned, thats for sure.

I know some people on these boards have gotten good deals from time to time on raw coins. But when it comes to rarities, I will not bid on a raw coin. There is a reason this MS64RD 1922 no D is raw, it will forever be that way. Maybe in 100 years it will be market acceptable, so unless I was putting a collection together for the great grandchildren, I will pass.

Your right, the area below the date looks odd like something was done to the photo.

red flags for sound reasons too on this one

i don't like it for a no d

i'd think removed weak d and way too strong of a reverse...cleaned and recolored

i could make my own for less

I have serious reservations about the coin being genuine

link worked for me!!

I would stay clear of this auction its a win win for the seller not much left for the buyer.

If that coin was real it would be in a real auction and slabbed..

I bought one raw and sent it into pcgs. That coin needs to be examined in hand by someone that can tell a real one from a fake.

BUT if you must bid good luck to you

definitely NOT a real 22-plain

Hmmmmmm, I've never seen one in that high a grade but the ones I've seen have a weak second 2. His
1912 Matte Proof doesn't look like a Matte to me as well. Others will chime in but I'd not bid.

doh

No way is that a legit coin...and the seller is a complete goof with poor feedback. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

Seller is notorious for cracking prob cents out of ANACS as well.......

It was recently sold on the bay ( by another seller ), then Ebay cancelled the listing...

GrumpyEd

Was it the whizzed one that was bid up to almost 4K? (2 weeks ago)

The 'listing' has been removed. I thought the 'D' was removed, rather than photoshopped.

That was my thinkin as well, it was much more obvious in the other sellers pics. Shocker did a bit of doctoring on the pic as well.

Looks like it's back.......................Link

Reported........again.

Of course a true 1922 NO D cent Strong Reverse II, would have polish wear along the rim, with the "In God We Trust" weak and worn, among other characteristics.

segoja

Fake! Certainly not the real deal!!!

micmt

I saw this one also...nice strong details......way to strong. And their seems to be a "something" right under the first 2. maybe metal left over from a D being removed?

lkeigwin

Wow. Suckers bid it up to $3250. Anyone who knows this mintage knows the obverse is soft, the 2nd "2" is weak, rim is weak, motto soft... How sad.

fiveNdime

he'll make 10% on the return ($325.00 today) and relist it privately.
would this be only the second time???


his feedback (on slabbed) is good otherwise...
