Okay - here's what we do...just an idea - let's see what "we" think...
Come up - as a group - with a new ebay account ID. Tell everyone here on the boards what it is so we can watch the auctions.
Step #2 - come up with the most ridiculous "varieties" or "errors' possible - like Russ's example - the"capped die" IHC.
Then we can post them and have a little fun. In fact, we could have a weekly contest for the most outrageous coin auction item!
We could have a weekly contest for the best way to fraudulently "present" the auction. We could have polls and vote.
Anyway - just a thought - it might be a GOOD laugh. Of course, we can also inform the winning bidders that they bought junk and then tell them to join the forum to learn more about coins and collecting.
Well? Watcha think?

Seems to me that the scammers can do it forever...why can't we?

It's truly funny, no make that truly sad, that people in this day and age are so wrapped up in their own little world that they refuse to try and teach someone else the correct or accepted way of doing things.
Hmmm...
Seems like all we would have to do is re-create some of the best scams we've seen, sell the items - and then inform the buyers that they have been duped and that if they really want to know about coins - join this forum.

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.

If you were considering placing a bid on this item, you may be susceptible to coin scams. This coin has no numismatic value. To learn more about our great hobby and how to avoid fraudulent auctions please go to <insert CU forum link here>.
Of course, this takes all the fun out of watching the auctions get crazy bids, but it may educate a few more people.

After we get about 50 ideas for a "handle" would someone post a poll so everyone can vote?
