Actually, I believe it's genuine. The impression on the head appears to be PMD. This coin is more than likely dipped. It still shows traces of mint luster. I have not seen casts do that. The devices don't look "wacky" either. Just my opinion. swcoin.ecrater.com

The 3 doesn't look right at the bottom........anyone else think so? And in the obverse pic there is a line that runs from 9 o'clock to about 1 o'clock....almost looks like a crack, but it might just be the way the coin is tilted in the pic that it is showing just a hair of the edge, but I don't remember ever seeing that before.

I think the edge /rim on the obverse resembles some copies there at the upper half of the obverse. Not a scam but I don't think it is right to try selling this as a authentic coin with a minor disclaimer of putting copy and a question mark. I think that the guy is just using that copy? as a way to justify selling a coin that in my opinion is probably a fake. If anyone can put what makes this a fake into words well enough to convince ebay, they would take it down. But you should use this link - eBay Auction Violation Reporting from our CCF forum. not the one Report Item on the auction page. |

This guy needs to be reported 1909 S VDB Copy? [eBayItem]400252829143[/eBayItem]
This coin is up over $100.00 and ends in 47 minutes.
I feel like being the final high bidder just to make a point. He has other copies and fakes as well.

It's amazing that his return policy is "Returns not accepted", all his photos are taken with the coin in his fingers (why, oh why do people do that?) and he has almost 5600 transactions with 100% positive feedback. He must be related to Houdini.

I reported both the SLQ and the SVDB. I think his 1935 Peace dollar looks FAKE too as well as possibly some of the Morgans. Quote:

Vermontensium, He can say no returns all he wants but I'm sure that ebay will overrule him in these instances if someone wants their money back. By the way, I don't feel sorry for the person that bought the 1909 S VDB. At the very least he claims it is a copy. The bigger reason is that it wouldn't surprise me at all if the buyer tries to resell it as the real thing. Edited by Saruma

Oh yeah, I know. If any coins are deemed fake, all that goes out the window. I was just stating that no returns tend to go along with scamsters like this.

the s-vdb is def a copy....looks like the obverse of a 70's lincoln if you look at the features. Apparently some think it's real, and some think the slq is real too......of course, as someone mentioned, they could be buying just to attempt to resell claiming them as authentic.

My report has been effective for the both listings to be removed by ebay. Unfortunately, they might have been paid for already. |
