Stumbled on this searching info about EAC. Im understanding why buying raw is a crapshoot, unless you really know your coin. Seeing this really irritates me.

Has anyone asked the seller if they are marked "COPY" in compliance with the Hobby Protection Act?

No one seems to care about the HPA. One particularly flagrant violator has quite a fan base in the hobby.
Possibly the reverse is marked copy... but I would not bet on it. Cheers, RickO
Don't confuse counterfeits of real US coins with fantasy coins that don't actually exist as real US Mint products.

At least they aren’t trying to sell them for 10s of thousands. That will probably be the next reseller…

True but ask 100 or heck 1,000 people on the street what year US coinage started and most would be off by more than 10 years. Ask them when Morgans started, or Lincolns or Washington quarters. What we immediately identify as a "fantasy" coin because it is one year before a run or one year after a run is not identified by most people.
Some people could be convinced that a manhole cover is a coin. Should they all be marked "COPY"?

Almost
is it slabbed?
Looks slathered—how does that happen?
No. Environmental damage.

Several years ago while taking a walk in downtown Baltimore, I saw a manhole cover with a very heavy raised die crack going across it. Only a coin collector would notice that and find it interesting.

Bonanza is based out of Australia. I sent him a nice note and let him know he's violating US law and harming collectors. 'eh, we'll see.

I could be wrong, but this suggests that the company has their HQ in Seattle:

Edited to add:
Found a similar offering on newegg.com.
It also ships from ASTL. Could the seller be located there?
