Oh come on now. It even says COPY right on it.

vibr0nic · July 25, 2012 12:54PM

Yes. eBay.

12voltman · July 25, 2012 1:00PM

$800 for a copy but even worse there have been 35 bids. I need to start selling copies.

tightbudget · July 25, 2012 1:00PM

I'm not sure what the bigger problem is: the bidders going that high on a coin that clearly looks like a copy (stamped or not), or the seller not disclosing that the coin is a copy.

Buzzybest · July 25, 2012 1:01PM

Who's the dealer bidding with 1439 transactions?

coindeuce · July 25, 2012 1:01PM

I thought eBay banished sales of all replica coins. Should this transaction actually consummate, it is easy grounds for a SNAD claim. The seller made no proactive effort to describe it as a copy.

tightbudget · July 25, 2012 1:01PM

Here's another by the same guy

Sounds like something that Mark Feld and I would have done had he still been here.

great fun!

Sold for $810. I guess that makes up for his getting $3.99 to ship 4 $1 coins...

coindeuce · July 25, 2012 1:23PM

He won't be around long when the claims start piling up.

Kaelasdad · July 25, 2012 1:24PM

He also has a complete board with yet another 1909 S VDB, who wants to bet he has found a china supplier and is rollin them dice

I know a couple people on the forums would bid on fakes on purpose just so unknowing buyers couldn't get trapped.

What exactly is a "VBD" cent??? LOL!!!

There are just so many things wrong here. A coin stamped "copy" doesn't belong among the legit listings in that category obviously. However, did any bidders actually read the listing or view the pic?? Really?????

Wow!!.......SMH (shakin my head)

LanceNewmanOCC · July 25, 2012 1:31PM

did pcgs really put the date in the middle?

Wow! And the cert. verification says it's worth $3300.

tightbudget · July 25, 2012 1:40PM

I believe that's normal for bullion coins like that

Buzzybest · July 25, 2012 1:47PM

In that case, I have a few to sell at half price!

ebaybuyer · July 25, 2012 1:57PM

and there are people who want to protect these buyers from themselves.... you cant protect people from themselves. the responsibility to at least LOOK at the picture should be that of the buyer.

19Lyds · July 25, 2012 2:09PM

Tis one isn't even funny since what he's selling is one of the slag metal coaster coins that are about 3.5 inches in diameter. See the Ruler in the photo.

Calling it Rare is nothing short of out right lying to potential bidders.

This listing can still be reported using this link.

The same link can be used for the coin in the OP.

Even if the listing closes, eBay can still cancel the transaction as both sellers are lying to potential bidders by calling their items "coins". They are not coins. Ones a replica (ollegal by ebay standards) and the other is a paper weight.

19Lyds · July 25, 2012 2:11PM

<< He also has a complete board with yet another 1909 S VDB, who wants to bet he has found a china supplier and is rollin them dice >>

The piece in the listing from the OP is a ROYAL OAK MINT Replica coin.

Royal Oak Mint Lincolns.

It did not come from China. It came from Michigan.

19Lyds · July 25, 2012 2:14PM

I don't think this seller even has these items.

I mean, someone with enough sophistication as to own and now sell a 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle in PR69DCAM most certainly would not call that paper weight Lincoln a Rare Coin!

19Lyds · July 25, 2012 2:17PM

<< Here's another by the same guy >>

Un Freaking Believable! $571.98 for a paper weight! (COPY not required since it's not even a coin!)

19Lyds · July 25, 2012 2:25PM

For that particular Slab Generation, YES.

messydesk · July 25, 2012 2:44PM

Poof and poof!

ty for the clarification of the date placement. i thought i'd seen it before but wasn't positive

CaptHenway · July 25, 2012 11:28PM

Bidiots!

ParkieCollector · July 25, 2012 11:59PM

Tough to stay on top of these threads, if you're reading them the next day the auctions are gone already!

"VBD" huh....
