  Not only a non-existant date. but a HORRIBLE counterfeit to boot. the '94' is all messed up and the reverse looks like a classic CAST counterfeit. not to mention that the "CC" mintmark letters are too fat......

  That 4 on the date is just all wrong, for starters.
  
  Sheesh.

  Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

  This seller has provided smoe entertainment before.
  
  I believe he had a 1905 ASE for sale at one time. And a 1795 Trade dollar.

  Slipgate, you haven't even bid yet, so why are you worrying about someone outbidding you?

  Does eBay do anything about these if you report them as counterfeits?

  Sure they do. but most people who see them don't bother. We've had some success here on the boards getting these auctions taken down. But I'd rather Ebay didn't hire a legion of coin experts to police their auctions. Ebay fees are high enough. I'll watch out for myself, thank you.

  Don't ever bid on coins from Curio Art they are all cast forgeries. Ebay is letting them get away with these listings because of the way they carfully word the description! Don't be fooled!

  generally, ebay will send you a thank you note and later find a reason to suspend your account

  I'm never going to finish my CC set if they keep adding dates to it.

  Naw, send seller this link and ask if he has any healthy organs. Tell him you're a sick American and thinking about calling the local prefecture for a quote.
  
  New wonderful Chinese convenience.
  
  And....just ...maybe.... think about the link on your next trip to .... WAL MART!

  So rare that eBay wouldn't allow it to be sold.

  Looks like reporting it does do something. But will they do anything about this seller if we keep reporting these?

  That is not so. I have reported many fakes, including this one, most of them are taken down, and I have never had any trouble with my account.

  Actually, I have a hunch there are thousands of them.
