There is No images of the reverse!
The date looks like an over stamp from maybe a 1999?
Lincoln looks to have had a bad day.

Purely a counterfeit.
Looks almost like play money from the 60s.
Edited to add: it isn't! Just looks like it.
(Modern replica.)
That nose says "Jimmy Durante" all day long.................
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
The seller has zero feedback too.

How can anybody doubt this coin's authenticity with those clearly sharp photos.

Extremely crude counterfeit. These among other key dates are currently being produced in China.

POSTED BY MISTAKE! (OOPS)

Somebody here will defend that the mistake was due to the " do you have one to sell" function of eBay.
There are more people trying to rip you off than making a mistake in their listing.

Kennedys are my quest...
That is an Abraham Wong example. Lincoln’s brother from another mother.
IT'S MINE!
I'll bid now.

Why doesn't anyone here manufacture some copies of rare Chinese coins and flood their market?
Pete
Their market is here.
Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody.
Looks fake
The listing for the coin in OP is still active, the coin reeks phony.
So, we need to up our game on getting the listing taken down.
As it stands right now I only know of one report.

It is a Chinese fantasy strike 1955 DDO cent.
Reported.
having the link buried down the thread is a sure way to get it overlooked.
many people do not read past the op
That's two reports I know of!
Thanks!

If you look at the obverse upside down it looks like 666 has been stamped over the date. Pretty “Sinister.”
Wooden !
With a name like that what’s not to trust.
My Ebay Store
We used to call these the “Shanghai double die” coins
"Risk Brothers" the border all around the their sign read "The Only Risk Is In The Name"

That rings a bell , I think.
That's correct .
The listing now actually ask some bidders!
So, lets keep reporting it.

When something like this occurs ,
How do you take action on reporting ?... I have no idea how , or where Politely.
On ebay you go to the listing, scroll a little ways down the page and look to the right for the Report An Item option.
Politely, a message can be sent to the seller directly, as well.

Will do ...politely. That's all ...Where's Ralf Natter when you need him.
Just thinking, and don't ask. lol
Thanks !
I sent the seller a to nice message and I included the image below of my 55 DDO and ask them to look closely at their coin seeing how they had it in there hand and compare the doubled 55 in the date to what they really look like on a genuine one, and I ask them to look at the profile lines on Lincoln's nose and see if it matches the lines on the genuine one.
I told them that the 55 Double Die I have is certified GENUINE.
I closed with, "Good Luck With Your Ebay"
Bidding is up to like $340.00
Image I included,
Darn, what a hansom looking coin, at lest its got Lincoln's image on it

I reported that last night... Guess a lot of folks need to for it to be ended?
Well, Well, the powers that be in the background channels has been at work again.
The wind just blew and POOF its GONE!
Shame too, it was a pretty nice "Jimmy Durante" token, maybe the only one of its kind
"I Prefer Dangerous Freedom Over Peaceful Slavery"
Thomas Jefferson!
Hardly the only one of its kind - I’ve seen quite a few like that.

WoW! "Jimmy Durante" is more popular than I thought!
I'll keep my eye out for one of them metal detecting.
Thanks Mark (again)
