I have gotten two calls since Jan. 1 from bullion customers asking if I could match the $19.99 price for one ounce silver eagles from www.coinagefield.com When I told them this must be a scam, as not only was it less than spot, but 'buy 20 get 10 free' was impossible. "So your answer is no," one asked. The other said it cannot be a scam, because they are PCGS, NGC and CCE authorized dealers, and "wouldn't be allowed to" say that on their website if it wasn't so.
Buyer beware.

Have you contacted PCGS and NGC about them?

The internet is full of these scams! (Check Facebook or IG)
They hijack logos from PCGS, NGC, PNG, ANA, US Mint & known coin dealers.
Because they are out of reach from the long arm of the law there is not much that can be done.
Here is just one example of a coin you might receive from these sellers.
Notice how it says DDllar.
I couldn’t find the company listed as an affiliate by CCE, PCGS or NGC. Has anyone else checked?

No need to try, you are trying to track down an internet ghost.
Good chance the real seller is overseas.
I just logged into Facebook and one of the first ads that popped up was this one.
This is the webpage it takes you to.
Notice they have hijacked many company logos (PCGS, NGC, CAC, ANA, PNG & US MINT) and they don't have anything to do with West Coast Coins.
Here is what is listed on their webpage as their contact info if you want to believe it.
Notice the seller is Shenyang Yujunbao Shoes Co. Ltd.
It also says “24 hours after paument” what ever that means.

Time is only wasted on those that fall for these scams and get mad at other sellers who are legitimate. They are not worth your time. Thank you for reporting the scam though so that those with some semblance of intelligence will know to stay clear, and that the scammer gets shut down.
So those that fall for these scams aren’t worth our time, but those with a semblance of intelligence, who will know to stay clear, are? That sounds backwards to me.

I just logged back into Facebook and this one popped up for a better price.
This is the ad
This is the website it takes you to.
Here is another one that just popped up for an even better price.
This one is the seller with the ones that say DDllar.
One more and then I promise I will stop.
Sadly people do fall for these scams.
I get messages from people all the time asking if the coins are real.
Sad. But.... law enforcement seems to have no interest whatsovever to step in and take care of the situation. Appears everyone is on their own. Good luck to those who have little experience and want to purchase precious metals.
The learning curve can be steep and costly.
The problem is that the people who want to believe these things can't easily be swayed by reason. They just get mad at you and think YOU are running the scam when you try and tell them.
I wonder what you'll get---either nothing or a counterfeit. You certainly won't get an authentic coin.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Not if they are selling multiples. If they are selling ONE at a ridiculously low price, you will usually get a real one. They are trading the coin for your contact information.
Those aren't the type of Double Ds I tend to prefer...

These silver scams are have been all over my Facebook feed for over a week.
Guess who will be blamed for non-delivery... David Hall would be out with guns and lawyers ablazing on damaging the reputation of PCGS . No press releases, no warnings on the pcgs.com website. There IS a news story that Back to the 80s silver eagle ultra broken "chase" coins with special labels will drop in "packs" with random packs containing an even more ultra rare labels.
My Facebook feed has also been showing US postage stamps for sale at 50% off. Another blatant fraud.
Fake?
Now what the hell am I going to buy for my baby!
May a thousand fire ants invade their beds. Thanks for posting these scum.

I get those kinds of ads on my Facebook page all the time. I report them, and FB's standard reply is that the ad does not violate their advertising standards (which apparently means only that they pay FB's fees).
If its too good to be true -------
Facebook will be facing some class action lawsuits in the near future. Since I see the stamps and Silver Eagle scams, I have the sense that virtually everything on Facebook is a scam....never clicked thru any ad, and will certainly never buy because of the prevalence of these scams

Amazing that anyone would sell below melt value! I have seen this on my Facebook feed for months and reported them, but as stated above, Facebook just does not care.
I'm not sure about the Meta Marketplace, but I have gotten good deals there (this is not one of them).
If someone falls for such a scam, the fault it theirs and the fallout is theirs. Education has always been and will always be the best defense against this criminal behavior.
