Its big business preying on the uneducated.

With key dates like 1923 half penny etc. ebay should perhaps look at only allowing slabbed genuine coins to be sold.

Having said that it where is the line for that drawn? a dollar value amount, a scarcity rating?

It will most probably never happen because working out how to implement it would be difficult but it would save a lot of dramas... until faked slabs enter the market more.

There are already fake slabs around so that is not the answer.

The answer is that people need to do their own homework and/or buy from trusted sellers. It is an open market and people should not be restricted in what they sell provided it is genuine. If they have any doubts then they shouldn't buy it.

The best defence against a fake is knowledge and buying from the right people. ebay should be avoided at all costs for high value coins, unless you are buying off a seller with a strong reputation in the real world (the monetarium for instance).
