Are these simply copper plated and polished or are these counterfeited coins minted in his basement? His pictures are so blurry, I can't tell. PS: this is the same eBay crook that was selling coins in counterfeit PCGS holders:

Definitely look plated to me. He even calls them "steel" pennies. Yikes....

Heck, just by what you said about him selling counterfeit coins would be enough to keep me away from him forever, don't care what he was selling!
Definitely plated. Too shiny.
Alteration of a coin with intent to defraud is an offense under HPA. Who will be the first to go after the crooks? Where is "the collector's association," ANA?
Look plated to me.

The "pennies" themselves are from long ago, the plating more recent.
Another "half truth"

Those are freshly plated..... Having worked in a business with plating processes, I saw many coins plated with copper, silver and gold.... Easy to do... even at home. Cheers, RickO

Loved his common rocks being sold as Genuine Meteorites!
If they aren't in a TPH they ain't real.
