What the..... ?

Bobk · November 22, 2003 1:56AM

Intresting. I sent seller a email asking if he knew the origin and compisition. I'll let you know.

HavanaJoe · November 22, 2003 2:01AM

I almost, ALMOST want to buy it just as a conversation piece... Then again, maybe not...

Bobk · November 22, 2003 2:05AM

Havana. I was thinking the same thing.

<< I DO NOT HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF COINS AT ALL... >>

Boy, for someone who doesn't know anything about coins, this guy is sure selling quite a few of them. He's got a knack for finding "questionable" ones, too!

HavanaJoe · November 22, 2003 2:24AM

<< Havana. I was thinking the same thing. >>

Bob-

The only thing stopping me is the fear that the conversation would turn to "Why the hell did you BUY that piece of crap?"

Bobk · November 22, 2003 3:36AM

Havana. I'm thick skinned.

HavanaJoe · November 22, 2003 3:46AM

<< Havana. I'm thick skinned.

I think I'm going to bid 5 bucks on it.

Tootawl · November 22, 2003 4:43AM

I wonder what happened to cause a 1996 to make it look like a 1900? I swear I've seen this coin on auction before.

You think it's a '96? Could be. Looks like a '90 to me with the 9 mushed around to look like a '00. Either way it looks fake. And c'mon- if you are going to fake a coin at LEAST you shouldn't give it a date 86 years before the coin even existed. Even *I* know that!!

fountainheadgold · November 22, 2003 4:57AM

I agree, it looks like an altered 1990

Veridicus · November 22, 2003 5:05AM

This coin is actually a Chinese fake and probably made of low grade or no-grade silver. A huge number of fakes have been coming out of China recently, Bust dollars, seated, trade, morgan, and this. Also, many world crown fakes as well.

Bobk · November 22, 2003 6:04AM

Seller says. He knows nothing of the composition or origion. Bob

HavanaJoe · November 23, 2003 8:12AM

Someone bid on this!

ElectricEye · November 23, 2003 8:24AM

Chinese knockoff

Good link! We need to start sending this to the ebay scammers we encounter.

Deadhorse · November 23, 2003 9:07AM

I sent the seller an email last night and explained to him just what "rareties" he had.

I explained what a troy ounce silver round was and that these are of European origin, I also burst his bubble on the values of them and the date forgery.

He did send me a reply thanking me for the information, though he hasn't bothered to alter the auction pages based on his new found knowledge.

Why am I not surprised??

Bikingnut · November 23, 2003 9:12AM

A local dealer said some of them might be real!

ElectricEye · November 23, 2003 10:04AM

<< A local dealer said some of them might be real! >>

The ad should have read:

This is probably the dealer that everyone's been waiting all their lives to sell to over on the dealer horror stories thread.

Here is my response after sending him the link to U.S. Title Code 18 PART I CHAPTER 25 Sec. 486:

<< Thanks for the input SMART ASS!! Perhaps, you should spend more time reading the SPAM policy of Ebay. Unless you have a legitimate question about something I have for sell, DO NOT SEND me any more emails. If you took the time to read the description of the items I have for sell, it clearly states they "REPLICAS" for a "conversation piece" TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 25 > Sec. 486. states....... "intended for use as current money".......... Go waste someone else's time!!

Actually, I think I shall spend more time reporting every auction he has as illegal interstate trafficking in counterfeit goods to EBay...8 down, 10 to go...

Veridicus · November 23, 2003 3:22PM

You are the man. Good job.

I emailed him but got no reply.

ElectricEye · November 23, 2003 3:23PM

try sending him the link, you'll get a reply

or better yet, report his auctions to EBay as well

Cam40 · November 23, 2003 3:38PM

thats a guy that wont fit in his coffin until they give him an enema, then he,ll be buried in a shoebox.
