I can't believe people are actually bidding on an auction from a user with 0 feedback from China with some of the worst Engrish I've ever read. Not to mention the photoshopping is so blatantly obvious.

That's some fine use of the Chingrish language! Thanks for the laugh.

True, these fakes are very funny. But trust me, it won't be long at all until "they" get "it" right. Once listing non-existant coins and/or stolen images corrupts their feedback too much, and people finally start to get wise, they'll start manufacturing good quality fakes and encapsulating them in good quality fake slabs. It just takes a second to archive photos and registration numbers for real certified and valuable coins. You can find thousands of these images on eBay every day. What's to stop them from using those images and numbers as a ready-made list of easy-to-produce fakes?
At $1 per hour, a skilled craftsman can put a couple months worth of effort into a fake valued as little as $750 or $1000 and still make a nice living. And a $5k or $10k coin? They already fake working, accurate, solid-gold and virtually undetectable Rolex watches to make a couple thousand dollars. Now imagine if that Rolex was only 2 sided, had no moving parts, and was actually sealed in a plastic container that keeps you from examining it closely. And slightly unusual coins that you might not see too often, like a Pan-Pac $1 or Dahlonega $5 in a fake slab with genuine numbers? How would you know?
Maybe I'm just paranoid.

Well, they are third world holders. Probably got holes in 'em.

I see scumnuker has bid on 1 of them.

It's nice to see the American Entrepreneurial spirit has reached the Far East.

So the coin experts won't find these auctions & warn bidders about them.

Chinese Mother's Day traditionally starts in early January, and runs until the end of the listing.
I see scumnuker has an addition to his collection.
