Some impressive creative writing B.S. in the eBay seller's description here.

Problem is, the real coin was sold by Heritage here and here.
When in doubt, don't.

    Impressive BS is right... What a joke! Guys like this ruin the hobby.

    That has got to be one of the most well-fabricated BS auction descriptions I've ever read.

    I remember when fake slabs were few and far between. It seems like they are everywhere now image

    Why would anyone bid so many thousands on an account that has so little feedback and hasn't sold anything for three years? Also, got to love the story of buying a $5 record with a $1,000 comic book inside it that then had a $20,000 coin inside of that (and that coin already being in a slab...). Finally, "no returns, sold as is!" Hah, this stinks like a scam from a thousand miles away.

    Here is a piece of advice you can take to the bank. If the pictures are shot at any angle other than 90 degrees, PASS. All the scammers seem to shot "oval shaped" coins when they post pictures to distort the details.

    Reported that one as soon as it popped up yesterday. There have been so many of these lately I don't even bring them up here. Whenever there are images from past auctions available, I provide the links in the description to Ebay. Judith usually pulls them pretty quickly. It should be gone soon. What is interesting of late is that she has mentioned a couple times that the account appeared to be hijacked. I don't understand why a crook would hijack an account and display a fake coin. If you're just going to take the money and run, why not display a REAL coin???

    i think there is so much work going on behind the scenes, they nary have the time, at least from my research and reading.

    it seems to be an action vs sit back and complain situation. they choose action. something i'd like to see more of from people, in a lot of difference areas. don't talk about doing, just do!
