Is this a listing violation? The title says silver the description does ID them as fake however. This is about the tenth large lot of underpriced mexican silver I've seen . One lot I saw a week ago sold very quickly for about $500 and was not id'ed as fake , it was only up briefly but I thought it was suspicious , when I looked at it again however it was all ready sold. That lot was a mix of cabalito pesos and more modern .720 and .900 cinco pesos
The issue to me is , many buyers don't read descriptions very well , and after being burned they may be resold and not identified as fake ,
On a side note , do people that knowingly buy fakes care that they came from a non smoking home?

There are dozens of the last example from low feedback sellers some in china
Had a dude stop in with a stack of one ounce platinum bars. He wanted to sell them. LOL. He took off with them intact, when I pulled my drill and file out.
This Ahole is posting a lot of this garbage and people are bidding the lots up over $100.
