Considering that none of his other offerings are significant, I would probably have given him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he was just clueless and really thought grandads old coin was real had been handed down in the family generation after generation if he hadn't then pulled the stolen image and "photoshopped" slab trick.
I see he found a sucker for his ICG slabbed Roman coin as well. It failed attract a $50 opener twice and then he gets someone to bite on the $90 BIN.
Oh really now?

I don't think it's a counterfeit PCGS holder, the seller just photoshopped the label and holder.

The holder does say "PCGS" in the bottom corner but the label is all scwewd up.
That's putting it lightly.
Looking for PCGS AU58 Washington's, 32-63.

Yes it's wire fraud and if sold mail fraud, Federal crimes. If this clown was getting away with it, then I'd think Ebay would refer this to authorites--but the problem with ebay and prosecution is Ebay invites all these spoof sales. How could the jury take them seriously with all publicity like "the Dorritos/or toast/or cheeseburger in the shape of Jesus", and other joofy stuff they allow??.

You must have missunderstood..Seller didn't say it was his Grandfathers coin..He said It WAS his Grandfather and his Grandfathers GREATGREAT GRANDFATHER. I didn't know coins could have kids.

the image and holder as authentic constitutes forgery. We as collectors really need to do something about this type of conduct.
He's got a MS55 Fugio now

Considering he has been trying to sell this thing for at least a month now to bury dear old grandad he'd better hurry up. He's probably getting pretty ripe by now.

That has NOT been my experience, and I do a great deal of reporting to Ebay.
Those who were booted from Ebay after reporting others, had done something wrong themselves, and/or were unwilling (in some cases, justifiably so) to provide additional account verification to Ebay.

Ditto.

We should all e-mail him and ask him if this is the same coin he offered the other day in the fake PCGS holder....
Return Policy Details: MUST CONTACT WITHIN 72 HRS FOR CONSIDERATION
How are you going to contact if you don't ever get anything?
Have your friend write back and say:
"Gee, I only have $2500 to spend. Its a shame I can't have that coin."
See if he bites and trys to sell it for 2500. If so, his claim that a dealer offered him 3000 is totally a sham.
"Ditto."
Yeah, same here.
Who got tossed at rcc for "reporting" to ebay?
I didn't know that was a NARUable offense.
Besides, I think I recall a rule that if you whined enough on this forum or at rcc, ebay has to let you back on.
