This is supposed to be a Christian organization and I hate to say it but it really looks like they knew this was a fake coin from the very start. Quote:
THIS COIN WILL BE SHIPPED WITH INSURANCE. NO RETURNS ON COINS AS THE PRICE IS FLUCTUATING CONSTANTLY. What does the fluctuating price of coins have to do with getting your money back and returning a coin to the seller? Through statements in the description they covered their tails TWICE by pretty much telling the buyer they are stuck with the coin after the sale. VERY SAD! |

I think chances are real good that the seller didn't realize these were copies, did anyone email the seller and tell them they have copy stamped on them? |

That size/placement of the word copy is still in violation of the Hobby Protection Act of 1973. But if it was made before 1973, it is not in violation. |

If it were made before 1973, and was counterfeit, and out of compliance with todays laws wouldn't it have to be confiscated and descroyed and certainly illegal to pass on as a genuin coin. I thought that the "COPY" had to be stamped into the coin, not incorporated into the design. Is that not true? Can "COPY" be raised?

I let him know that 3 of his Double Eagles had "COPY" stamped on the reverse before the auctions closed. He did have several $10 Eagles that appeared authentic for sale also. |

another reason not to buy high value coins on ebay, only certified coins there espcailly gold ones. Good eye I looked at it and I did not even see that copy |

With the possible exception of the high shipping prices, the buyers should get their money back from Paypal shouldn't they?
Then again, bherring brought to the attention of the seller the word 'copy' stamped on the coin 'before' the end of the auctions, so if this 'is' a righteous organization as claimed, then the seller should just refund full purchase price 'including' shipping without ever sending these 'coins'. It would be interesting to see how it all pans out.

They never corrected their ad--and somebody will be sorry when they bring that to a coin dealer. Why do I get the impression that the "charity" this benefits is them?  |

The seller said in the description that the coins were given as donation. Looking at the other items, its obvious they are not a student of coins. I have a feeling they will return the money in this special case.

Me too Matt, I will think that way (until feedback proves otherwise).  |

ebay let me know all 3 of the Double Eagles I reported were nuked. Thanks for the tip guys. This saved some buyers a lot of anguish. |

Quote:http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...lling+Coins+ Always use this link to the CCW to report ebay auction violations. Do not use the standard auction reporting methods. This link has a much faster response time. Can I use this link to report a seller of fake designer jewelry. I verified with a dealer that the item was a fake. I do not want to leave negative feedback for fear of not getting my money back. ***Staff note: ebay closed down their coin policy enforcement department suddenly in 2014 and reassigned those employees to other work*** |

No that link is specifically for reporting problems in the coins category. They were having so many problems and complaints over fake coins (and they were getting lost in all the other problems) that they set up that special link to fast track the coin problems.
