Are these two Seated dollars and two Trade dollars fake or genuine?

Like maybe this 1885 Trade dollar: 1885 Trade dollar

How about this 1847-O Seated dollar: Thought this date didn't exist

What about this 1873-S Trade dollar? Check the "3"

What about this 1846-O Seated dollar? Here's another one

All except the first one have been reported to eBay. I got the standard eBay form letter reply "Because eBay does not employ or train its Trust & Safety Customer
Support Representatives to be experts in the area of coins and currency,
we rely on expert opinions from knowledgeable people as well as reliable
third party organizations, such as the American Numismatic Association
(ANA).

Your report will be reviewed by a group of members that comprise a
community watch group for coin auctions. They then confer amongst
themselves and either agree or disagree that the listings are
problematic. They then forward that information to the ANA for review.
The ANA can then agree or disagree after careful consideration. If they
agree, they then contact the seller directly. Sellers are then afforded
24 hours in which to revise or cancel the auctions. If they fail to do
so, eBay must cancel the auction.

    I've always considered the 1847-O to be a "better date".

    Identity of winning bidders kept private. Wonder why?

    I do understand the reason for allowing this, but I think the number of scams and ripoffs that result from it outweigh the legitimate privacy concerns of some bidders of pricey items. At the very least, even if we can't see the identity of the buyer/high bidder, it would be nice to be able to contact them. But then, that would show eBay cares more about stopping people from getting ripped off than about extracting maximum fees. Can't have that!

    << <i>Identity of winning bidders kept private. Wonder why? >>



    I think I know why, so that no one can contact the winning bidder to tell him/her that the coin is fake. It also hides shill bidding if it occurs.

    Yeah, I know. It was a rhetorical question. image

    But they sure know a coin in an SEGS slab "violates the counterfeit policy"

    Ebay "trust and safety" people are a pathetic group of losers.
