Warning $46,000 Fake Auction On Ebay 1810 $5 PCGS MS-64

That is what is at the top of the original ebay listing with David Lawrence as the seller. The coin never sold for $46,900.00. He does show the entire label with the certification number and the number is also stated in the description.

From what I see, David Lawrence probably learned by some means the coin and slab were fakes and returned the coin to the person he bought it from. That individual is now selling the coin himself or maybe it's someone else.

Cert from DLRC: http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/25561387/ ... appeared at Heritage Feb 2, 2012 and sold for $29.9K.

Note the fabulous "no returns or exchanges" return policy. The fact that he is using plagiarized images from DLRC is pretty suspect too.. maybe he's planning a bait and switch or something like that. He does not say in the listing that you will receive the exact coin in the image, he just says you are bidding on a one of a kind coin.

Blocking the cert number could just be so that people cant look up the recommended value as easily. I mean its dumb because anyone could still find the price, so it doesn't really make sense, but I can still see someone doing it for that reason anyway.

I'm definitely still confused and perplexed as to what exactly is going on but obviously it would be suicide to bid on it. Yet people still do...

Would you really list a coin of this value at no reserve and 1 day listing .. .. now pulled
