Somethin smell fishy

Starting at $9.95???? I could get a bag of those and get rich quick!

I don't think this is fishy at all. It is quite clearly an auction for a fake coin.

fullerfun4 · March 15, 2004 12:58AM

Clearly a fake.

A rare, raw coin from China - looks genuine to me.

I'd throw down a bid of $25,000 for starters.

Shanghai at that. Seems apropos.

Dang, that guy has a really nice collection. Cardinal should be worried.

I hope that the edge lettering says "Made in China" either in English or Chinese -- although I am doubtful ...

She looks like a man!

Gotta love the description though.... whats a "plunks"?

I can see the die cast graininess in the last two pictures.

BTW, I recently submitted a tip to the FBI (www.fbi.gov) about selling
of unmarked fake coins on ebay. I was referred to the internet crimes
division and never followed up. It's still a felony to sell fake US currency,
you know.

Reverse side eagle was wrong, as well

Please note that the coin is not a silver coin!!!
