I messaged the seller to let him know, and it sounds like he is on the up and up. Doesn't sound like he had any idea. I told him to weigh it and test it with a magnet, but both of those didn't prove it was counterfeit, so I sent him a picture from CoinFacts and also a link to this thread. If he doesn't do the right thing and take the listing down, I'm sure eBay will pull it.

Doesnt get much more obvious than that. That is as fake as it gets.

Plus keyword spamming. Uses PCGS in the title for number made but not a PCGS coin.

AUandAG · May 23, 2012 2:49AM

And if the seller is reading this: Ebay does NOT allow prices in the description on raw coins.

im glad to hear that it did end and no one got burnt on the deal ( more or less )

I'm pretty sure the seller had no idea it was a fake. the funny/sad thing is that it looks like the seller bought this on Ebay about a week ago and thought he could flip it for a big profit.

In our correspondence, he mentioned he bought two items from a fellow eBay seller, and after letting him know this one was fake, he took both to his local B&M who confirmed both are fake. He was going to return them to the previous seller.

Is this one fake or no?

1866 $1

RollSearcher · May 23, 2012 5:36AM

I would assume that's the other coin that Paul referenced above. That looks even worse than the 1862!

stealer · May 23, 2012 5:37AM

Here's another one he hasn't taken down...Link

Dabigkahuna · May 24, 2012 2:39AM

Okay, he has pulled the 1866 also. That just leaves this one.

1845 Liberty Dollar

Just curious if you can tell from the photos?
