..but, at the same time, the winning bidder clearly didn't do his homework, so I can't feel too badly for him..

They do look to good of condition to be true. How can you tell they where counterfeit if you dont mind me asking? I know about Henning, just like to know what to look for.

coin details are wrong. toning is wrong. Price is very wrong for some very rare and valuable coins if they were real.

@OP Is it possible next time to post the pictures from the ad and also explain as to why you think they are fake. This would go a long way in helping the members here on CC.
Thanks

The seller only has 2 reviews, that should tell you to take an extra look, maybe an extra 3 or 4 lol

Indications are that someone actually won this junk.

Seller received a negative from would be buyer for cancelling the transaction. Apparently he was really convinced that they were real....................... Quote:Bought item and the man say it is damaged.Expensive coins to damage right at end of auction. What a lie. F 1794 1795 1804, liberty (# 194092652775) |

Was watching a Sotheby's auction and a 1794 just went for $900,000.00 and a 1795 just went for $575,000.00. I now see what caught your attention to the low priced fakes. Of course those auctioned are PCGS MS65.

I didn't want to start a new thread, so I found the first "check out these fakes on ebay" thread to post this in. I don't know if this only happens at this hour or time of day(night), because during the day they seem to be mostly authentic. But typing in " Morgan silver dollar" with the 'ending soonest' filter and I would wager that half are fakes.. most get bid on and sold. how sad. it's not even hard to see on the jpgs with the 'zoom' tool: tooling marks, unnatural "pops/bubbles"/cracks in the die, obvious incorrect date punches and placement. sometimes you don't even have to use the zoom tool, you can see from the toning in the thumbnail! I usually report the really obvious ones but they almost never get removed. |
