Counterfiet Ike Dollar on ebay

I really hope this guy has no idea as to what he's saying.

LOOK HERE

#170372640117

He says "You are bidding on three nice COUNTERFEIT EISENHOWER Silver Dollars. I believe these to be counterfeit and I'm selling them as such, but they have the weight, sound, and feel as the real thing."

They have a bidder

OnlyGoldIsMoney · August 22, 2009 11:28AM

Even if they are genuine I cannot imagine anyone wanting to pay $9.99 plus $5.99 shipping.

ProofCents · August 22, 2009 11:43AM

Thats really dumb to pay 9.99 every for three normal ikes

19Lyds · August 23, 2009 1:29AM

Dang!

I'd like to have seen that auction before it closed just to be able to examine the coins.

Lloyd, it is still up and running. Check staircoins fixed link as it is active while the OP's is not.

I also believe they're modern counterfeits but probably not made of silver.

It is against ebay policy to sell counterfeits, even if so stated, so send the seller an message and get his contact info if you are interested as the auction may not last long. --Jerry

Phil, perhaps you should look again since the auction ended yesterday at 20:23:14 while my post occured today at 8:29 am.

Lee,
My big question on the whole subject is, What do you use to draw those cool Arrows?

braddick · August 23, 2009 2:25AM

Lee, Sorry for calling you Lloyd.

My typing got ahead of my thinking.

For those who missed their chance on buying the "Ike"; this guy has 6 more presidential counterfeit coins going off on August 30th. Read the description.

How do you post a link?

sinin1 · August 23, 2009 8:52PM

all those improvements eBay is making to be a more user friendly site, sure makes it hard for me to learn where everything is - I was thinking like Braddick it was still going

BillJones · August 23, 2009 10:58PM

This situation can be summed up in two words for all sides.

WHY BOTHER?

PerryHall · August 23, 2009 11:16PM

Funny that three fakes cost a lot more than the real coins.

SaorAlba · August 23, 2009 11:55PM

They look fake to me also, but the kicker would have been to see the edge of the coins and see if they were clad. So far the Chinese haven't bothered to do that, but they are working on it.

Is it really possible to counterfeit tokens? I mean, what are these?

By the way, "counterfeit" is overused and misused. Those are fantasy tokens. A true counterfeit must have an accurate and genuine counterpart. Those in the auction don't.

"By the way, "counterfeit" is overused and misused. Those are fantasy tokens. A true counterfeit must have an accurate and genuine counterpart. Those in the auction don't. "

Don't quite understand why that remark. The auction looks like regular 1971-D Eisenhower Dollars (Can barely make out the mint mark)
Could be an "S". Never the less there are real ones of both. Then again I may be misunderstanding your remark. Please clarify if I am. It has been known to happen.

1971-D

1971-S

ocon4008 · August 24, 2009 11:32AM

Thanks Braddick, but how did you do that?

ProofArtworkonCircs · August 24, 2009 11:39AM

At least one of them is a rather unique "Ike."

braddick · August 24, 2009 12:26PM

I highlighted the auction number within your post and upon opening the item on eBay, copied and pasted it here.

Stew: The remark was aimed at the Second auction the seller has up. Not the auction of the Original Post.

Stew · August 24, 2009 7:23PM

Thanks for the clarification Lee, thought after posting that maybe it was a situation that someone was seeing something that
I was not on the Ike's.

ocon4008 · August 26, 2009 12:12AM

Thank you for the lesson Lee; I have it under control now. Could not have succeded without your help; you are a gentleman and a scholar! I owe you a berr; are you coming to the big show in Baltimore in November?
