I'm really getting fed up with copies on ebay

wybrit

More and more copies of rare coins are going up for sale every day, crowding out legitimate numismatic offerings. These are the ones I have seen of late (British of course):

1933 penny
1937 Edward VIII penny
1952 penny
1954 penny
1797 twopence
1937 Edward VIII nickel-brass threepence (what a lousy copy it is too) - there were over 100 hits on this ended auction (un-flippin-believable)
1945 silver threepence
1952 halfcrown
1847 Gothic crown
1905 crown

Many of these listings do not / did not have "COPY" noted in the auction.

Ideas for how to convince ebay to list this trash somewhere besides under "coins?"

garyph lists a lot of these types of copies. He used to have 'copy' or 'reproduction' or something in the title but doesn't anymore.

As long as eBay makes their money they don't give a darn about this.

Ah yes, the 'hands clean' approach.

At least that copy will not fool anyone. The bust looks more like George W. Bush than Edward VIII.

Now there's a scary thought....
