Has not been pulled yet. Both of these "coins" have the same shill bidders on them.

......you can't be serious all I can think of is John McEnroe,  but I digress. and I felt bad when the raw coin I just bought for $20 was a 'details' coin. These buyers are ignorant and the criminal sellers are laughing out loud. |

Ed, that's exactly what I was going for. As a kid, I'll never forget watching Big Mac throwing his temper tantrums

Here's a question--when ebay removes an auction, should the seller retain their "100%" rating.  I realize those are buyer ratings, but it doesn't tell the whole story. It's like a potentially expensive scam is 'off the books'. |

That is one of the more scary ones I've seen on ebay lately! |

All fake coins are supposed to have COPY written on them in big letters. The reason that you make fake very rare coins is clear, they might say they're making it as "play money" but it's pretty obvious what the real intent is. I agree the seller is terrible for doing this, but the manufacturers are also at fault. The problem is the manufacturer is not doing anything wrong or illegal. The US laws dealing with counterfeits and marking requirements for reproductions do not apply in China and their laws do not make creating fakes or reproductions of other countries coins illegal. The people breaking the law are the people who buy them and import them into the country. |

$3850--why hasn't ebay pulled this auction? You would think after getting caught selling one fake, ebay would pull this one too. This thing looks like it came off the press yesterday--not 218 years ago.  Edited by DVCollector
