Counterfeits to report (large group of silver dollars) - 2-9-22 (Gone now)

IkesT

The seller does not primarily sell coins, so it is possible they are not aware that these are counterfeits. I've messaged the seller, but am not waiting for their response, as these counterfeits are selling rapidly. There are 16 counterfeit bust, Morgan, and Peace dollars currently listed, and 12 that are already recently sold. The 1800 bust dollar counterfeit sold for $555 while I was writing this post.

No response from the seller to my message, but I just got a flurry of special discount offers on their counterfeits. This is a different seller than yesterday, but apparently they have the same MO.

$555 accepted for a coin that should fetch a couple of grand if authentic. Shouldn't the stars on each side of LIBERTY be all the same size, not some bigger than others?

Basically, every part of it is wrong.

What drew my attention right away was the crude detail on the bust, but none of the design looks like it's supposed to, on close examination.

I observed, too, that the details weren't really there but doesn't poor imaging (like "blurry") oftentimes kind of obscure detail that might actually be there? I see poor images all the time on ebay. ebay needs to hire some coin image screeners imo. Can't or won't put up an image acceptable to screeners you can't sell it here should be their policy. I think reverse images should be required of the seller to put up too.
