  • I only checked his last 6 feedbacks but none were coins. I'm thinking this guy doesn't have a clue. send him a message.

    Looks like this seller has no knowledge of coins, from his feedback. Says he has a restaurant/or works
    in a restaurant. I sent him a nice "heads up - they're counterfeit" email. Now we'll see what he does.

  • The Eagle looks like pigeon on the Flowing Hair!
    Then there the elusive 1798 large date small stars variety too!
    Lastly the infamous Indian Head Dollar!
    These guys are getting really good,

    now those are very easy to spot as fakes!!!!!

    it'll be a shame if there are any serious bidders for these obvious forgeries.

    I e-mailed him too.
    When in doubt, don't.

    I e-mailed him as well. I have to think he'll be cool with all the e-mails....I don't think he's trying to pull a fast one, he just doesn't know any better. I LOVE the 1851 Indian Head Silver Dollar. Now that's a tough coin!!

  • with a name like "u are mine" is there any question that he knows they are fake???

    It could be some Korean cook that works in the kitchen selling some of his collection and the owner doesn't know about it. Special Wonton for you ebayers!! Or china man that cooks.

    I am more concerned with the fakes that a trained eye has trouble spotting. I used to report these obvious fakes to ebay but have since decided that anyone with half a brain would not bid to win these coins. Hard to imagine someone placing a high dollar bid without comparing the images to some recognized authoritative guide.

    My point is that we all have to take a little responsibility to do at least a little due diligence on our purchases.

    I also got tired of the lack of responsiveness from ebay. Having alerted ebay to problem auctions on literally thousands of occasions, I feel that I have done more than my share to protect the naive. I still notify ebay on less obvious transgressions.

    When one looks at, for example, the image of the 1799 dollar, anyone with even a modicum of interest in the series will instantly know it is a fake. Those who do not know the series might not know this but before they commit a large sum of money, they should do a little homework, don't you think, rgl1845????image

    I got a response from the seller; seems to me that he didn't know any better.

    The email I received said the same and added that he really didn't believe that the old man
    that gave him the coins was a crook. Learned his lessen and halted the auctions.

  • all auctions were cancelled by the seller........The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing. You can see them if you check completed.

    There are some sellers that are unaware some coins are fakes. My mother was a waitress in the 60's & 70's and 80's and customers use to give her all kinds of odd things , tokens, coins etc as tips. None ever ended up being worth much that I know of.
