Perhaps this Lincoln just isn't genuine? Is Not the Real Deal?

Saw this one on eBay offered by the same seller that was selling the fake 1897 V Nickel (featured earlier in its own thread here).

This one just looks 'off' to me, yet don't want to burden the seller with that possibility unless the consensus here is that my findings are correct.

Obverse:

<<< in the fake crowd here

Yeah, the date definitely looks fake... look at the "9" and the "0"

The buff nickel looks bogus too:

Looks fake all the way. That Buffs looks right to me. But I haven't seen the other side. Why would ya wanna fake a 36 Buff for anyways??

Probably the same reason Henning made fake 1944 Jefferson nickels.

Saw that as well and this seller also had that bogus nickel and bogus Trade Dollar as well as a fake
ASE. I sent the seller a note to get them examined by a dealer before selling and got this back:

cupcake711:

I appreciate your concerm but I already have taken them to two dealers and they said they were ok. The first two I purchased in 1955 when I started collecting coins. The silver dollar in genuine just frosted. They are all guaranteed with return priveldge . Thanks, Robert

So, sent this in response to the above:

I'll stand by my statement and call you out on that dealer said they were okay crap. Either that or you have two dealers screwing with you. Numbers are too large on the nickel. Missing wheat shafts on the TD and pimples throughout the fields from using a cast die. Just junk.

Then got this back:

That buffalo nickel looks like some of the fakes on Aliexpress to me ...

The gold coins the seller recently sold are all the stuff that's available in cheap copy form there too ... I'm worried for the buyer.

I don't like the MM in that 1910-S but I have no problem with the nickel.

GrumpyEd

That S is funky.

A real 10-S has the same style S as the 1909-S or S-VDB.

WoodenJefferson

The ~0~ (zero) is way too small on the 1910...these coins will fool a novice and some not so novice collectors, that's their intent and with that intent, they fly.

The cent looks odd.
I don't see anything wrong with the Buff except that it may be dipped out.

Bochiman

The MM looks off to me. First couple of seconds, saw that, and stopped looking at it.

Christos

The 0 on the Lincoln should be round not oval.

david3142

As others have mentioned, the 0 is wrong. Here is what a genuine 1910-S looks like. This was in a VF30 holder before I cracked it out and put it in my album (the streak is a reflection of the plastic slide).
