EBay "looked into" my report and could find nothing wrong with the coin. Apparently their new system just ignores single reports. Need backup reports.

Done. I also reported his mullet.
Pickup only in Lexington, Kentucky. Done, as well.
I want a discount just for looking at that picture.
Suggestion, when you post links to fleaBay, strip off all the tracking stuff...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/315496406839 not what you posted. Makes it less likely for the artificial stupid to think it's the same report.

If you know anything about the real item, this thing is not even close. The obverse of the 1922 Plain Cent with the strong reverse was made from an obverse late state die. The words and Lincoln portrait are mushy.
Here is a genuine example that was graded MS-63. The photos are from a Heritage Auction.
And here is the counterfeit from the OP. I have cropped the photo and brightened it up a bit.
Coin has been removed by eBay
There was a used breen half cent book the as reported at $132. Got the same message that there's nothing wrong with the listing. Said ok and moved on. A new book is about 60 dollars (edited for errors,sorry)
Thank you all. So many times when I am the only one to report a counterfeit the juke box that eBay is using to run their artificial intelligence rejects it.
IDK... I tried reporting a "1845-CC Seated Dollar" to the ebay overlords. Their AI rejected my report as did the human that went back and looked at the auction. Just for grins and giggles, I put in a couple of bids on it just to see what would happen. The auction was pulled by the seller and my bids cancelled, but there was no reason given for ending the auction early. Apparently, the words "counterfeit" and "fake" are the third rail at ebay... sort of like saying "Voldemort" or "Beetlejuice" 3x...

Heaven forbid we should use the English language to them..........
The collectors on this site are a great "Cop On The Corner" - keeping ebay with honest material as much as one can. Nice job!
For the record I never buy from ebay unless I know the vendor.
