Thank you guys, I am pretty active member on another forum, and do not post as much on this one (am a lurker), so I do not know how to do the pics/links as well.

Are the two $2 1/2 Indians also fake? They look like badly damaged former jewelry pieces at best.

jwitten

Yes, all of his coins are fake. I mainly collect $2 1/2 gold, and these are not even good fakes.

TigersFan2

Thanks. I'll report the other 2 as fakes also.

But I regularly report coin auctions that are breaking the rules and I've never seen one get pulled before the auction ends. I started watching them to see. I don't think Ebay really cares because as long as something sells, they get a commission.

I saw an article from a year or two ago. It said that Ebay had 7 coin experts who were being compensated to look at coin auctions and flag the fakes. But they discontinued that because they decided that Ebay's job is to bring buyers and sellers together and not judge the content of what's being sold.

I hope some of these "winners" start suing good ol' ebay if that's at all possible.

He's probably saying Ebay dosnt give a poop.
