Sometimes you just have to take a beating...

This poor fella fell for a scam apparently. If he can't recoup his investment through ebay or paypal then he should just toss them in the trash and move on. Sounds like he is looking for others to share the beating he took. It's sad he took a beating but....image

    I guess he thinks environmental damage made it worth $20.

    The feedback shows the seller has both bought the exact same item from and sold to the same ebayer on more than one occasion for the same sums.Positive feedback left allround.That's odd.

    That is disgusting.

    However, don't criticize the fellow too much for his other items all appear to be straight razors or razor related stuff.

    I tell ya at least this guy is somewhat honest about it for as it might be fake and hes selling like such. He isnt really trying to fool anyone really. If you see all these red flags and you bite then you deserve to loose ( if you know what your doing as a collector/dealer). But I fear someone less knowing taking a risk and for that i am saddened.

    I would not take his word for it that the coin is fake. Not that it matters, of course.

    Looks like a Chinese fake that fell into a rice paddy!

    How can you even tell there's a Morgan underneath all that slime, let alone a fake one?

    There's gotta be something about "honor among thieves" here somewhere. Pirates being pirated, or maybe the Chinese counterfeiters throwing their booty overboard while being chased by the Coastguard.

    I wouldn't say 20 bucks is taking a beating. More like a paper cut.
