I apologize if this has been posted already. This is the first time I've seen this:

From Ebay:



<< Are you confident the coin or paper money you are listing is authentic? Are you aware it is against eBay policy to sell fraudulent currency?
eBay reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove any coin, paper money, or any numismatic-related item listed if eBay believes the listing is inconsistent with the selling guidelines set by the American Numismatic Association, or inconsistent with eBay’s goals of promoting the hobby and maintaining a safe trading environment.

eBay strongly recommends that sellers include all relevant information known about the coin or paper money, including any alterations the seller believes may have been made to the item, and include a clear scanned image of the actual item.

Please help us make eBay an even safer place to trade.

    It looks good, but it hasn't slowed down the con artists.

    They can't even manage to keep the reproductions out of the same categories with genuine coins.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Maybe ebay should quiz people prior to letting them look at coin auction lots. For example, you click on your favorite coin section to peruse the fine selection, and an ebay screen asks in bold red letters "ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN SPOT COIN FRAUD, COIN COPIES, ILLEGITIMATE COIN REPRODUCTIONS?? ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN LEGITIMATE, QUALITY DEALERS, AND SCUMMY HUCKSTERS WHO ONLY WANT TO ROB YOU BLIND?? HAVE YOU COMPLETELY READ THE BOOK BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO BUY THE COIN?? OK- JUST CHECKING".
