    That is not pain, that is just plain dumb.

    OMG...I would really like to know what that submitter was thinking when he sent in those counterfeits. 14 of them, all at once! Too funny, and maybe a little sad.

    I hope not. If he wasn't sure and his intention was to have them authenticated, you would think he would just send in one to verify!

    Maybe it was a "quality" test?

    Thats the only thing I can think of as who in their right mind would "accumulate" so many counterfeits? These ain't cheap you know.

    Perhaps a NEWB to the slabbing game got taken?

    There is another possibility: the submitter IS the counterfeiter, and apparently not a real good one.

    Bet this person did and one of them passed and they had done it a few times so why not save on shipping?

    I picture the dumbest coin doctor in history who sends all of his altered mintmark coins in one submission. I read this thread 10 minutes ago. I took me that long to stop laughing so I could actually compose this post. ROFLMAO.

    Whoever it is knows a lot about what fake 16-D's look like now...

    That would be the only way I would find it funny.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I think there needs to be a better term than "questionable authenticity" as that can lead one to believe that they still might be genuine.

    My thoughts exactly. Someone who knew what he had fishin for easy money.
  • RampageRampage Posts: 9,442 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Well, I don't knwo the submitter and I have nothing to do with the submission. But, I do feel very bad if it is some common Joe who might have bought all these on eBay for a "good deal".

    There has got to be a good story behind this one... perhaps the answer is one of the above, or maybe something entirely different. I believe we should be on the alert for auction offerings in the near future. Cheers, RickO

    So....if you really want to get screwed, buy a raw '16-D on EBAY. Probably "good" fakes, too; since he sent them in.image

    All that effort scouring flea markets down the drain. I picture 14 G-F coins with added mint marks.

    Who said he/she bought them on eBay? Maybe he/she has had them since the 1970s and decided to sendthem in.

    True... But you must admit that we've all seen lots of fake 16d's on eBay over the years...
