SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 09:44 am Someone took the time to document counterfeit coins and slabs offered on ebay and created 3000+ images on flikr. Very interesting to see what's out there and the quality of the slabs. This might qualify for a "sticky". http://www.flickr.com/photos/coinfo...yebay/page1/ Report this Post to the Staff

If I were in the market to purchase a key date anything I would definitely be comparing to known die varieties, date and mint mark positions and so on. I'm glad I'm only in the market for Morgans by the VAM number. This post from a while back should prove interesting.https://goccf.com/t/156921 The listing was removed after the auction closed and the buyer never received feedback and has not listed another coin since. I've been watching. Take a look at the feedback for this seller and a better look at the coins that have been sold (the 1937 Texas is obvious. It appears about 6 or 8 times)https://goccf.com/t/156728&SearchTerms=fake Edited by dave700x 09/20/2013 11:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
Stylez Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 1:26 pm thanks for the info dave700x... sometimes a coin doesn't look right to me, even though some have been genuine when posted something in the picture was off... it makes me wonder if I bought fake morgans when I had my books? the guy checked them all out and was happy with the trade but after seeing all this,its hard to tell, I really want to buy ALL my high dollar coins in person or from reputable people, by high dollar I mean $500+... which there are many in the book I am getting ready to start (AU/BU #7070). I don't want to buy from LCS because of the reviews and pricing here in Hawaii... they have cruddy customer service and I have seen "copy" on some of the coins in there silver dollar books... ill be leaving the island soon and then I can really hit the streets and get my book together... I appreciate all the good info on fake coins and links... PEACE.. Report this Post to the Staff
