I think you are correct a 44 that's been altered , the gap between the 9 and supposedly 1 give it away , hopefully the listing is removed before some one gets burned ..cheers Mick

Yup, altered 1944 for sure, it looks like they tried to scrape the vdb off the shoulder as well.

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

Yes sir..it's altered..I'm trying to figure out how he got 610 bucks on his last sale from the pics they provided

Absolutely this is a altered 1944, I sent him a message in hopes he does the right thing and pulls it.

You can see the shadow of the 4 from where it was. unless I'm seeing things?

Nope..that was the first thing my eyes got drawn to..I have found an altered 1911 s penny that was a 44 and it has the same shadowing

 

[dustywallen]

It is altered for sure.

 

[dustywallen]

The D don't look "boxed"

 

[civil_war22]

Gosh it's amazing at how obvious that is. He must have a lot of fools buying cause he has great feedback. Very obvious of gap between 9 and the 1 (4).

 

[Nitric]

There is still that chance the person that listed it didn't even know, or missed it.

 

[Professor of Engineering]

The coin has definitely been altered.

 

[civil_war22]

Either a dishonest person would buy it to resale or a complete moron who doesn't have a very keen eye

 

[l.cutler]

I don't think we will get the answer to that. I signed in and reported it which means I thought it looked suspicious. If more people that have account there report it that may help. I am not sure of their policy as far as this goes. I believe there are rules against fake currency but how far e-bay will go in investigating a reported item I don't know.

Never reported anything, how do you go about it?

 

[nsdq]

kinda looks like 1924 or 34 but heck it smells funny

 

[enamel7]

I sent him a message also. Told him go pull it or be reported. I don't put up with sellers like this. They know what it is. They sell too many coins not to know.

 

[civil_war22]

Or he may be a complete dumb butt and not know jack. But judging by his seller history I am sure this isn't his first questionable sale

 

[CoinHuntingDrew]

He/she definitely knows its a fake if theres a no returns option

 

[civil_war22]

Wow. Yea. Dealt with these kind of jerks before. I had a old Led Zepplin T-shirt that was supposed to be vintage and from a 1970's concert and come to find out once I recieved it that it was from Walmart or K-Mart and relatively new
