    Obverse Walker should have the mint Mark on the obverse lol

    The coin Itself is obviously a reverse mint mark no higher than AU grade if real.

    I'm guessing that the seller does not accept returns?

    It ended at $300 and shipping.
    Of course no returns, lol. Thank you everyone for confirmation of suspicions.

    If you will, imagine these ebay scum getting a legal notice from ANA stating their actions are illegal and that ANA WILL PROSECUTE under HPA and will also refer to the Justice Department and USSS.

    I have a 25 year pin from the ANA, but I'm not a fan of the organization. Every time someone on the club starts talking up ANA membership and proposes that the club should chip in for those who join in their first year, I am the nay sayer.

    What would it hurt for the ANA to come out like gangbusters against the counterfeit menace? Where is the down side for the organization? Do they think that is going to be a big movement that will say, "Why is the ANA opposed to the poor litttle Chinese or any other counterfeiters?"

    The organization was chartered by Congress. Why doesn't it lead the charge to lobby Congress to do something about counterfeits?

    Myriad problems with the paper insert, which was the first big tipoff for me. The koin itself looks mushy as heck.

    RE: "The organization was chartered by Congress. Why doesn't it lead the charge to lobby Congress to do something about counterfeits?"

    This has been brought up multiple times. The standard response is a resounding "Duhhhh." Withe the emphasis on "uhhhh."

    ANA has forked over $50,000 of member's assets to a group that has done nothing but "assemble a list of experts" who then wring their weak hands and produce NOTHING. This is not a difficult thing to manage or do. Expertise is readily available. The net cost is low especially compared to the benefit, and every successful prosecution under HIPA results in confiscation of the counterfeiters proceeds from illegal activity and award to the plaintiff.

    A few prosecutions and ebay will crack down hard. Local prosecutes will follow suit if they know that have professional expertise available and supporting them.

    ANA was once the leader in hobby protection and anti-counterfeiting. Now, it's not even the horse's patootie !
