    The seller just offered me a 37 percent discount on the coin, I could have it for only $400.00 for the next 48 hours
    what a deal, he knows it is a fake.

    Another fake that just showed up on eBay. An old time counterfeit that was struck in high quantity and has been around for a long time. Apparently a lot of them circulated for quite a while.

    Wow! I contacted him yesterday and he thanked me, etc. as if he cared.

    To the seller’s credit? Nah, I just think he know he got caught. But since he did end the listing you gotta give em
    credit either way.
