  I hardly think this is brazen. They correctly identified the item.

  All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.

  This is one is being sold as a replica but has no counterfeit or fake stamp or copy stamp on it.
  Can we get this pulled?

  You mean the one that’s labeled

  “1794 U S Flowing Hair Dollar Reproduction Coin”

  With bids starting at $6.99, with free shipping and no bids yet? I guess the question is does the Counterfit Laws require that they must be stamped copy or replica? I have no clue but would China care?

  I either saw that one or saw another one. An old scammer trick. The seller I saw mixed in some other sales of cheap Morgan dollars and some other cheap coins which were real, to give a potential mark the impression that the "valuable" coin was genuine and the seller just wasn't aware of its value.

  Relatively wealthy US folks spending billions buying totally non-essential collectibles = scammers. I lose more money just overpaying for authentic coins in PCGS/CAC holders.
