    Common reproduction from (I believe) the national collector's mint. This has been going on for a long time now. Too many of these to be able to stop it. What really eats me is that they sugar coat things and don't tell you it's a reproduction

    I have to hand it to the national collector's mint on the fine job they did in reproducing it though. Looks very nice .

    There is nothing in the listing that says the coins are copies or duplicates. If they are not real the auction is a fraud and violates ebay rules.

  • I did not see Reproduction stated anywhere. It also makes the implication it is sanctioned by the U.S. Mint. Maybe the Fed's will get on this like they did on the 9-11 Commem's and the Statue of Liberty"coin" image

    The auction description states that the coins are struck in 100 mil. I think the word "TRIBUTE" is being used inplace of "COPY".
  • Per ebay rules the title line must tell that it's a copy, if it is, and this is. Report it!

    Ebay has been pretty good lately on pulling auctions that are deceptive. Wonder how long this one will take. imageimage One I reported several weeks ago was out in less than 4 hours. Good for eBay I think. image

    NAT has SOME up for auction too. At least they have replica in the title. But no image of the copy stamp.
