Just blatant selling of counterfeit coins

Its freaking ridiculous what ebay will allow, counterfeit coins can be sold as long as there is a copy on it, but this guy's listings you can clearly tell he just photoshopped the copy on his coins. This is so infuriating, is there any way to stop this guy?
Look at the copy stamp on both of the listing below, same exact photoshop. (Notice how the p and y both have the exact same white spots in the exact same area, identical)

They both are stamped “copy”
I don’t think they are trying to deceive, the description is pretty solid as well stating that they are replicas
i agree those listings aren't deceptive. they are against ebay policy and i'm pretty sure they dont fully comply with the HPA.
Since they have a great big stamp on them that says COPY I’m pretty sure nobody will be deceived.
That's why self educating is so important! Good catch...
If you want to see something sad and hilarious search "cheerios dollar" on ebay lol!
You'll see about 20 of them, not fakes, they are just not actual Cheerios Sacagawea dollars, none of them.
Some asking thousands.
Actually there was one real one graded MS67, sort of can't miss it :-)

Buyers will get coins without copy stamps, and eBay prohibits sale of fakes even with copy stamps. Reported.

I would have liked to see an image.

Gone
eBay removed all of the "COPY" listings of this seller; against eBay policy to sell in that venue.
Gone now, would like to have seen the pictures. Screen shots are good so we can all learn. Cheers, RickO
What’s to be learned from seeing pictures of copies with the word “COPY” on them?

The COPY stamp, including very minor details, was very similar on the different photos, across different coins and both on the obverse and the reverse of the same coin. I thought that was interesting.
wow all gone, good work y'all!!
