I'd say the 18-S half is fake as well.

I also looked at his completed auctions and with the exception of the lot of ten circulated V nickels I would say that all of them were fakes as well.

When someone lists this many fakes, counterfeit coins, it seems to me that the act constitutes a scheme to defraud. Given the high amount that these fakes would likely fetch, that would make this crime a felony, methinks. I wonder then if ebay has any obligation to report such attempts, criminal schemes? If they did, and so advised all sellers of these counterfeits, then perhaps there would be fewer such risks taken by the fraudulent sellers.

The key is KNOWINGLY defraud. The seller could just say that he was reselling coins he got elsewhere and didn't know.

Generally, I'd not disagree with this statement, BUT that's for a court to determine. I do believe that, in this case, the described "coins" were offered without any question as to their authenticity. IMHO, there's sufficient evidence to warrant investigation and perhaps charges. Ignorance of the law is not necessarily an excuse ...

Realistically speaking, what are the odds that a relatively new seller on ebay posts a handful of high grade rare coins worth thousands of dollars; and, all counterfeits, with no returns? IMHO, this is a scheme to defraud.

The 1918-s half, likely a counterfeit, sold for $82.
