This showed up on my Facebook feed.
99.99 silver is advertised. I sent an email asking about that and response confirmed it is definitely Sterling and perfectly legal.

Many happy BST transactions

    I'm more confused by the post than the ad. What issue am I missing with the ad?

    " We order commemorative coins directly from the Federal Banknote Printing Factory."

    WOW. What a neat trick.

    Maybe I better order some 2 dollar bills from the Mint before they run out.

    Facebook is full of counterfeit junk and scam ads! :/
    This is just one of the dozens of ads for counterfeit Silver Eagles.
    Facebook is your one stop shopping place for all things counterfeit, counterfeit coins & bars, counterfeit postage stamps, fake Rolex watches etc.
    Facebook does nothing to stop the flood of garbage on their site, even when you report it they do nothing.
    90% of the ads on Facebook are scams to steal your money or your personal info.
    Don't buy anything off Facebook unless you want to get ripped off!

    Wow... Between the pictorial ad and the quoted post, that is a 'run, don't walk - and run fast' situation. No doubt a rip off. Cheers, RickO

    Now if I only knew who the US Ment was.

    A customer bought some of these through an ad on Instagram. He should have known better but the half-of-spot price caused him to put on his rose colored (or perhaps green colored) glasses.

    They will counterfeit anything and try to sell it on Facebook.
