if anyone here is bidding on this, the mintmark is not only much sharper than it should be at this grade level, its also in the incorrect place. after finding an 1896-s in the ground ive started a barber collection, so every so often i look for an 01-s to fill the spot (until i find one)
Obviously, an added mintmark that looks nothing like a genuine coin. Did you alert the seller?

And it goes without saying that you are wasting your time by telling EBay, they just do not care. Out of dozens of obvious counterfeit coins, I think maybe they took down one or two that I reported.

If that’s a shock, you were unaware of the value of that date, even in terrible condition:
Not every coin dealer knows the value of key date coins. That's what the greysheet is for, after all.
That’s certainly true - the CDN, other price guides and auction results make such information readily available. So it’s pretty easy to avoid being shocked.

It could be #Cougar1978 thought why go to the effort on a cull when the same effort could have been applied to a problem-free GD or even a VG with better results.
Maybe that is what #Cougar1978 was implying.

On the plus side, it's currently under silver value
On the negative side, it soon won't be.
Photos, people. Otherwise this thread becomes worthless in a couple months.

Wow 😳
I agree, S too far to left and should look more like this for the coin's wear elsewhere. I did message the seller, but have not heard back.

What a cull. Shocked somebody would even tamper with it.
