This seller is trying to pass of counterfeits from China claiming they are replica Million Dollar Morgans. The Million Dollar Morgans are the keys and are marked as copies. This is just the newest trick from this seller. He uses hijacked photos from other listings or from the web and then sends counterfeit coins. Even the cheap stuff like a single Mercury dime will be fake. Most buyers don't realize they have purchased a fake or it is not worth it to return it. He has been doing this for almost 2 years. I have had dozens of his listings removed and many calls to ebay.....they do nothing. Once he started using hijacked images of real coins it has almost impossible to get ebay to remove a listing. I bought 2 coins on 8/14/18 and left warning feedback for other buyers. With ebay changes, the only way to see negative feedback older than 12 months is to do it page by page. In one message he claimed to have sold $thousands$ in counterfeits and had no intentions of stopping. This fine person is also on one of those lists that let his neighbors know he is in the area. This one is a real winner that needs to be back in jail.

    He has over 96% positive feedback. It's sad that there are that many suckers out there.

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.

    His feedback score of slightly less than 97% is actually quite poor, compared to a number of particularly bad sellers.

    From what I can see ... the listing has been taken down.

    If the listing is honest, and says "replica Million Dollar Morgans" then they are not selling counterfeit coins. If you can prove he sent you different coins then what you won, then eBay Buyer Protection is in your favor.

    He is not selling "Million Dollar Morgans" he is selling cheap replicas from China.
    Seller will cheerfully refund when caught. He knows how to work the ebay system.

    He will be back with a new set of tricks.

    Edited to add: Thanks to whoever got the listings removed. :)

    To the casual bider, that number looks high. Blame Amazon for making their ratings deceptive.
