We're going to try this again and see how it goes. I don't want to lose the educational value of the topics down the road.
Now with that being said, I'm going to be a little stricter about it. If you post a topic that has 2 or 3 coins from the same seller, post images of all of them and get all the coins in the title so they are searchable in the future.
The images have to be large enough that they are useful. Posting a 300 pixel square image isn't really helpful.

Bobby, To reduce the volumne of posts, would it make sense to not include clearly identified/labeled "novelty or replica coins"? I realize that it is against ebay policy but it is not in the fraud category where someone is auctioning the coin as "authentic". Thanks for your efforts.

And if that gets taken down then ....
Thank You Very Very Much for All Your Efforts ......
This forum is super valuable and a public service and we all thank you bobby for your work!

I would like to echo the kudos and thanks represented above for Bobby. However, I would also like to acknowledge the folks who are going on to ebay, finding these "coins" , and raising a red flag. I spend a fair aount of time lurking on the counterfeit forum threads and am improving my own abilities.

I think that this is why these are saved, and why it is important to include the date, (country, if applicable), mint mark, type of coin, seller name, photo, and perhaps an indication of why it is fake (seller admits, characteristic of the coin, etc.). If you just say "Counterfeit Morgan dollar, and the item number", that is pretty much worthless once the listing is removed. Future users of this board can search
