We can't stop this stuff. We can stunt it, but it is a futile endeavor to even think we slow the rush of these.

It is NEVER going to happen where an informed public will reject all of this garbage. People are gonna lose a lot of money over this stuff.

I guess what we do here is more like a "feel good" attempt at saving a countless few who heed us from wasting their money and sullying the Hobby.

Gotta believe in something,

Pete your point is a good one, but a lot of these counterfeit 09SVDB that's been a study flow is running lean I can't say we're getting ALL of them on ebay, but I check the newly listed several times a day and deal with them as they turn up.
Lots of reputable coin dealers moves a lot of coins across ebay, we take out the fake coins then we help ebay to become a safer market for the entire coin collecting hobby.
I'm getting the impression that the dealers like us sweeping the listings of the garbage.
These scam flea marketers, estate sale finds, are not making much headway selling there phony 09SVDB's on ebay!
Nor their phony 14-D's
Sense we've been doing this is certain we've taken down over 200 of them, and if you include the China Based ebay listings we've took down untold amounts of garbage coins.
Thanks for your input & following these threads
