Fake 1894 Morgan in fake PCGS slab on Ebay - nuked!!! Thanks everyone!
The font on this one caught my eye first, then I saw it is a one day auction (red flags!!!). Cert lookup on PCGS had a link to the Heritage Long Beach auction last Feb. The seller's coin ain't even close to the real AU55. Whether the coin is authentic or not is moot - the slab is fake and needs to be called out. Anyway, I've reported it to Ebay. Since it is a one day auction, it would help if more reported it so that it gets pulled before anyone loses $$$

HOWEVER, my contact at paypal fraud dept. is working tonight. Let's see if he can kill it in time.
Here's ebay's simple coin reporting link for those that don't have it. SAVE IT!

Which slab image? Both links work for me. You may need to be signed in at Heritage. The Ebay item number is: 250853196197

Close up of obverse, where's the hit on the cheek?
EDIT: Font looks funny too. Where are the PCGS brass?
HRH you should be all over this.
The best I could do without making it blurry.
No problem at Heritage I am a member there.
Super size.

Well, it is Sunday afternoon, maybe everyone doesn't work 24/7?

Forget it, I reported it. I was just thinking out loud.
<< <i>For some reason I do not see the slab image.
I'm having the same issue, I can see the other two.

Could it be a real 1894 in a fake slab?
Or a fake coin in a fake slab?

I reported it and included the url to the Heritage pic.
If your in this thread report it!
EDIT: Asked the seller if he could supply a reverse pic of the slab.
Good point, but it's not stopping the bidding, already at $102 in the first 3 hours.
Please report it, save the hobby, one scummy auction at a time.
Proud to say I've been a part of three nukings in the last 2 weeks.

Yeehaw!!! You're welcome! Thanks to everyone who answered the call. That was pretty fast. Glad I spotted it and got the ball rolling. These crooks stink!

Hello

We understand this may be disappointing, but occasionally we need to remove listings. In some cases, the item itself is fine, but was listed in a way that didn't follow eBay's guidelines.
Here's what you can do next:
-- If you already paid, received your item, and you're satisfied, please disregard this notice.
-- If you won the item but haven't paid, don't pay. Since eBay removed the listing, you're no longer obligated to go through with the transaction.

well done everyone
i have bookmarked the ebay report item link
having reported dozens of listings, this will come in most handy
it is really really sad to see these scammers work 2x as hard for 1/2 as much than if they were to do things honestly and get 2x for 1/2 the work
fear is the strangest of all things
Dear eBay Member,
Thank you for writing eBay to report this potentially violating listing
to us.
I have thoroughly investigated your report, and have confirmed that the
item is not in violation of our raw and uncertified coins policies. As
such, no action has been taken on the item.
This listing is for a Pre-sale item that has only been recently
released. Our current policies permit sellers to sell items such as this
that may have been purchased, but not yet released from the mint. As
sellers cannot show an image of a coin they haven't yet received, they
are not required to show an actual picture of the coin. This policy
exception only applies to the small window where sellers are able to
pre-purchase coins that the mint has not yet made yet.
If you happen to see any listings you may feel violate our Coins and
Currency policies, we encourage you to report them via the Report Item
link in the listing. This ensures that we can get the reports to the
most appropriate department in a timely manner.
Please see the following page for eBay's policies regarding the sale of
coins:

Thanks again for your report.
Sincerely,
Derek B.
