Ebay fake and seller refuses to listen

AUandAG

Please report. I messaged him a week ago to take to a coin shop as it was not real. He said he did.

No doubt about that one. Fake for sure. A china import.

Yes, when you spot counterfeits on eBay or anywhere else, it’s a good idea to post the picture if you can. The more photos we get out there for collectors to see the better. Once the “orange hoodie” is up on eBay, it’s too late.

Should have told him to take it to a junkyard, not a coin shop.

And maybe the sellers eBay Name for when the item gets pulled.
Someone could still compile a list of questionable sellers.

Yes, this is the wrong reverse. It 's the reverse of 1879 which was never used in Carson in 1878.
