i recall reading an article that pcgs receives 20-30 altered/counterfeit 1916-D monthly!

you think that is a lot, just think about how many are not submitted and/or are submitted to other TPG

well without further ado, prepare for some dust biting

i've already contacted the buyer that they should seek advice about how to proceed

Here's the eBay auction for the raw coin.

My understanding is that there is more counterfeit 1916-d or altered than genuine 1916-d merc's
Correct me if I am wrong

Appears cast, way too grainy and porous for my liking. Chinese fake?

Although I have had the ANA course and feel like I can do a pretty good job at detecting the fakes (assuming I have my gear) I always am very careful when buying these raw. When I see one in a collection I always put it in the "To Be Graded and then we discuss price later" pile. Now that does not work if you are trying to do a rip, but I like a full nights sleep.
