Every American gold coin I've seen listed is a fake. He does one day auctions to try and avoid them being deleted. I do not know about the foreign coins, but I suspect they are fake too.

    it's always a good idea to provide the diagnostics used to determine "fake" when outing an ebay seller. It helps those of us who are hesitant to report because we don't know so much.

    Thanks for providing a link. I mainly collect/buy/sell $2 1/2 gold, and every one he listed looks very mushy, yet still appears to have luster. Not even close to real if you deal with them every day.
