If anyone knows how to shut him down, it would be a pleasure to see him breath from behind 2" squre iron bars and getting water and stale bread to eat daily.

How can say that? He is "a top rated seller."
reported.
Every auction has a "report item" link, where you can report the item to eBay as being a replica. Do it enough times, it'll grab their attention, even if he is a "top rated seller." Realize, however, that you'll playing whack-a-mole with this guy.

Counterfeiters should get a fair trial, then hang. Just kidding, a little.
All the listings I see already indicate that they are replica coins. He is in no way attempting to mis-represent what he is selling.
Now, you can still object to the whole idea of replicas, but...he's in Spain, listing on eBay Canada...

I think this seller has them beat

i asked before on this forium , and I will ask again.
does anybody know how legal or illegal **it is to sell these US forgeries?
**are these still legal tender in the USA? was US coinage ever demonitized?
if these or the originals are legal tender, then there must be a US law dealing with the distribution of the fakes!???
If that is the case, I am prepared to lay charges in Europe with the local police. It is easy and On-line. and they do take it serious.
am short of time just now, but will post one of my experiences with Canadian fakes in Germany perhaps later today or tomorrow.
Yes, you can report to Feebay... but they do not care any which way. It is designed that you eventually give up reporting and all in favor of profit. Now, if only 20 % of the members here would report it the same day / week, it might work.... until the seller opens another account.
Does not the Hobby and Protection Act of 1973 address forgeries and copies?

YQQ. It's really quite simple. All counterfeit and "replica" coins are illegal unless they conform to the Hobby Protection Act and are stamped with the word "COPY."
Nothing else matters. Age, legal tender status etc. don't matter.
If it was important to the ANA, maybe they would act on behalf and benefit of collectors. But they don't
The seller mentioned in the initial post appears to be in Spain. He's OK until he ships something to the USA.

Short version, most of Our laws do not apply outside the US.
Listing is gone... but it will be back... these sellers just wait a bit and relist.... Cheers, RickO
The Hobby Protection Act covers fakes manufactured after Nov 29, 1973.
what about before? did it replace an existing law about forgeries?
Ricko, somebody must have tipped him off..
who is responsibele for fakes in the USA? Is it ICE , Secret Service or the FBI?
