  Ridiculous fake.

  PNG member, numismatic dealer since 1965. Operates a retail store, also has exhibited at over 1000 shows.
  I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

  Reported. He states he's in Israel. Says he won't ship to U.K. Why?

  The appearance of that piece was one of the better jokes I've seen in recent days.

  Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

  I wonder what the bidders think when an item like this disappears:
  
  1. Wow, I'm glad I was saved from making a mistake
  2. Probably sold to someone else
  3. Missed out on getting a deal

  The sad part is the people bidding on it have high feedback scores, if you have ever seen a St Gaudens before this should jump out to you as very very fake.

  The fake holder does not look too bad, better than the coin at least.

  I purchased a 1849 O Liberty Seated Half Dime last week from a seller in the same town in Russia but a different eBay handle:

  
  
  
  

  
  Bad photos; it looks like a struck AU coin. I paid $18 for it so I guess I know what I'm going to receive.....

  Why?? For $18 I figured it would be worth the hassle. I really can't tell from the listing photos if it's real or fake, but after seeing the fake $20 gold fro the same town I'm guessing the coin was produced in China. Perhaps others can make ot obvios signs of a fake from these photos that I'm not seeing?

  
  I've received many fake coins off eBay previously (always bad photos); I've always received a refund. I'm guessing I'll get a refund this time as well if the coin is a fake.
