A: Thankyou for your concern...we did reportr ot and I just checked and did not find it so I think EBAY may have removed. Thanks again!



Q: Could you tell me why the serial numbers are blacked out in your pictures? Are the pictured coins the same coins you are shipping or will you ship others? Thanks.
Oct-24-06
A: Hi...They are blacked out in order to keep anyone other than the owner to register them. Yes the coins pictured are the coins that will be sent. We could provide the numbers immediately upon end of auction to winner if wanted. Thankyou



Q: Check out item # 230041950677. It looks identical to your coins and some of the description is the same as yours. Best of luck.

A: Thank you very much for the heads up on this!!! Do you believe these people??? I will forward to EBAY I sure hope anyone considering this is VERY CAUTIOUS..I am quite sure they simply copied our offering and high probability they DO NOT have the coins. THANKS AGAIN.



Q: did you send me an email stating that you had to travel to the UK and need to leave soon and would sell me the 3 coin set for my bid price? Please advise if this was a real email or just a scam email. Mike Benson

A: NO---it is a scam. You are 2nd to inquire. See posted answer to them as well. Please notify EBAY. Thankyou

Q: Hi, i just received an email from someone stating they were you, maybe it was you, but I want to confirm that. Email states you are going out of country and are ending the auction. If it is in fact from you then disregard, but if it isn't, it sounds like a bait-and-hook hoax and I guarentee it was sent to all your bidders on this set. Let me know so I know if I need to forward to ebay as a spoof mail. Thank you, Vincent

A: It DEFINITELY IS NOT us. Please forward to EBAY right away. Thankyou for notifying us (and any others). Crowncty >>

This "United Kingdom" stuff is happening EVERYWHERE: Just worked with bank in Chicago, police, FBI on same issue with World Series Tickets. Wanted to send me the tickets, but FIRST SENT ME a check for $4000 for me to deposit, and then to wire money back Western Union to someone "they owed money to in my area". I knew it was a scam the minute I "won" the world series tickets - matter-of-fact, I did it just for fun to bust the scammer.

Check was fake of course, but I kept e-mailing it cleared, and i wanted to send them the money right away so I could get my tickets!!!

They are ALL using the "UK". most out of Africa or even South America, but mine got a little careless (and i suppose excited with my responses) with giving me address to a name to send money to Chicago...
