TEMU is selling silver eagles
I don't think minted in the USA and may not be all silver?????
Someone may buy them and resell them on EBAY or to dealers!

Couldn't find any silver eagles at the temu web site, but sure plenty of other fake coins!
I’ve found that the fakes from TEMU and Alibaba are not very convincing, however inexperienced collectors may still be fooled, and should stick to buying from reputable dealers.
A lot of these fake coins from China are being bought by flea market venders for resale to non-collectors.

This is an ongoing issue. This was part of an educational display of fakes at the 2022 SCNA show.
I've noticed that as well. I caution collectors against buying coins from swap meets and flea markets for this very reason. In my experience, the vast majority of the coins for sale at these events are either counterfeit or grossly misrepresented.
I don’t buy any coins from Alibaba or China sellers. I don’t even look at their listings.
