    What does the other side look like? They don't look right to me.

    Wow. Many are fakes. Some are fantasy coins. Very common stuff to buy for a buck each at a street market in east Asia.

    This guy seems like he doesn't know what's he's doing setting a estimate of a 1921 Morgan for $50-$1,000

    thanks for the second set of eyes. if i'm not mistaken, those listings are from multiple sellers? which is even worse. so again, please tell me i'm wrong!

    not that i'm trying to stir up a bunch of dust but i'm pretty certain the secret service wouldn't react to kindly to that level of fraud. brazen or epic ignorance is really the nicest way i can put it. unless is it just 1-2 sellers.

    Your right. There are many different sellers but it seems like most of the Chinese fakes are from one auction house.

    thanks. i'm plowed in at the moment and haven't had time to verify. i presumed it was multiple sellers because i just searched "coins" to see what would pull up. so many venues with coins out there it nearly makes my head pop.

    Yup, it's buyer beware out there, Auction zip is just the access portal to the coin auction jungle. Peace Roy
