Agree. Better executed altered date fake than most I've seen.

Here is a side by side comparison. The mint mark is even in the wrong place.

You are bidding on a US GENUINE 1914 D LINCOLN WHEAT PENNY. The Coin is in AWESOME Good condition LOL

You can kind of see the ghost image of the 4 in the second 1.
I see the ghost image also, good eye!

Maybe we should have a contest one of these Sundays to see who can find the most fakes in an hour
had no clue whatsoever.

Now that is one of the best ideas I have read on this forum.
I would enjoy this contest even if no prize was included for the winner.
With so many different collecting interests on this forum I think this contest could really uncover a bunch of fakes that go normally unnoticed and save collectors here some bucks buying fakes they did not recognize for whatever reason. I imagine the amount of fakes found in one hour multiplied by the number of participants could be huge. If we could get it pinned to the top of the forum that would be of great help. BigE you are one smart Tree.

It would be interesting to see what was found.

There can be only one reason, they don't want to.
<< <i>I don't understand why ebay could not police their own auctions.

Who's going to pay them - you? (Me too if they hike their silly fees again).
<< <i>Yeah, that's absolutely a fake. You can kind of see the ghost image of the 4 in the second 1.

Thanks for the side by side! This is a great learning tool

Since it is their business
the cost is added to their expenses
just like their cost of electricity.
They choose not to police their auctions,
why could that be?
Perhaps they would sell less items?

Ebay is a vehicle to sell whatever to whomever. They just let some cash stick when the bidding is over. I'm sure that they don't care who polices the counterfeits, so it might as well be the eagle eyes on these forums to protect budding collectors.

Actually there is a very simple reason. It's impossible.
How many auctions are going on at any time that might involve forgery, counterfeits, fakes, knock-offs, etc.? Coins are the tip of the iceberg. Shoes, watches, handbags, precious gems, software, ceramics, videos, stamps, comic books, baseball cards, sunglasses...virtually anything collectible, and all high-end fashion designer products.
It would take many hundreds, maybe thousands of dedicated employees to monitor and police all this stuff.
Kinda sucks, but it is what it is.
