Question- assuming that the listing is not "private", how do you tell if there is shill bidding going on?

Personally - the seller is a sleazeball for not saying in the auction that this is a silver round and not a real coin. I do not believe that this is 'hype' as much as this is a knowledgeable seller taking advantage of the ignorant....
