Fake 1871-s quarter on eBay

rhedden

eBay won't take it down, and neither will the seller, so I'll just freely disseminate my opinion here and hope to save someone the heartbreak of finding out the hard way. All of the seller's items appear to be of questionable authenticity. The quarter has the wrong numeral style in the date and the wrong mintmark style. Looks like an 1876-s mintmark to me. Anyone want to bid on their "C" mint raw gold, or a pile of what appears to be Trade Dollars being sold as junk silver?

bogus 1871-s quarter

I sent the seller a message as well - good catch.

All the other coins he is listing on eBay are Chinese fakes too.

Er, I mean, that he is listing for his "client".

Nice that he is calling an XF/AU coin as "very good" with little wear on "liberty"....lol.

Best of all, his "Yoeman book" tells him the date and mint mark are correct.

Yoe....Adrian!
