The Peace dollars in particular are laughable:

I just sent a message to the seller, I'm not entirely sure that they know what they have.
They even have an ultra rare 1886 CC Morgan.

I too, sent the sell a message.... perhaps he just doesn't know he's been taken by someone, yet.

I didn't look at all of 'em. But a few things caught my eye.
Successful BST transactions with forum members thebigeng, SPalladino, Zoidmeister, coin22lover, coinsarefun, jwitten, CommemKing.
Those are so fake that the seller may just be totally unaware of what he/she has... Either that or they consider some sucker will bite. Cheers, RickO
He responded: "Give me your cell number".
I responded, no (I don't have one).

Lol, he responded to me this morning as well: "Mind your own business"
I reported them all, but I'm a nobody so idk if ebay will do anything.
I've been bitten by the weight bug before... Always go look up the weight of a coin if they show it on a scale if I don't know it by heart. Seems to be one of the easiest tells of a scam these days.

Since the seller wants to play this game, I figure they know what they are doing. So, I sent ebay an email reporting the seller and sent Ebay a link to this thread. Maybe Ebay will cancel the sellers account.
He's offering an 1886-CC Morgan Dollar. That is truly an exciting find because the Carson City Mint didn't issue any of them.
He has an interesting photographic technique of taking a picture of the coin in a shadow when there is light all around it. A good rule of thumb is, bad photo, run Forest run, and don't come back.
I decided to help him out a bit so that you can see what he's hiding. Even if the date and mint were correct, this is not a good fake.
All are still active.
Maybe @burfle23 can help.

All but one are gone!
I reported the one last one on their profile. This is almost as bad as the photoshopped ones I've seen floating around eBay (and also reported).
