    Definitely a fake. Reported.

  • It is definitely one of "China's finest" to say the least. If you are going to list a bogus listing, one would at least think you would have a correct description (i.e. there are no 1894 CC dollars; there is no PCGS "Trends", etc., etc.).

    I reported it as well, but what happened to the box where you could explain why this was being reported? Won't the jamokes at eBay just look at the listing and say "Oh, it's certified! No problem here!" and let the sale proceed?

    Reported as well, cheap fake I can't believe someone who would spend that kinda money on a coin wouldn't educate themselves a little better.

    Too bad it isn't wildly toned. At least then the jamokes might listen to our complaints and pull the listing!
    My current coin collecting interests are: (1) British coins 1838-1970 in XF-AU-UNC, (2) silver type coins in XF-AU with that classic medium gray coloration and exceptional eye appeal.

    I'm sure he was showing crappy pics with the hope that no one would notice that it's fake.

    It doesn't say "COPY" so it must be real, right? image

    I doubt that eBay will act before the auction ends. It would seem the thing to do would be to place a WMD bid from a disposable account.

    At any rate, reported.

    Done, and thank you.
    Still doesn't explain why the listing link is so inadequate.

    I like the 94-P Morgan, and would really like to upgrade to a MS example someday.

    Just got this from Ebay:

    Hello Bob,

    Thanks for reporting this listing to us.

    I reviewed this listing and confirmed that it has been ended and removed
    from the site and the seller is no longer permitted to list items on
    eBay.
