Another obvious fraud on eBay. Isn't there some way these things could be detected before they go up? Wnder whose image he's "borrowed"? Goose-egg & sunglasses, the sure signs of happiness in the future for the winning bidder.

Great Deal - no doubt from old European hoard

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't no optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.

    Probably means they just created it.

    and the image link is from another CU auction.

    not to mention:
    "Location RO - Bucharest "
    "Country United States "

    I would never do something like and I wonder what goes on in someones head who would try to pull something off like this.

  • You would think he would a least "borrow" a pic of a coin meeting the grade he claims. image

    Or does PCGS truly grant MS-63 to coins with the poor field and face on the left side, the pit(?) above the C and to the left of the R in America, and the problem (weak strike? grind mark?) with the I in America? image

  • I just sent him my standard email for these fraudulent auctions:

    "Why are you auctioning a coin that you do not own?"

    Never gotten a reply from any of these scumbags....image
