shermae Valued Member United States 259 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 1:50 pm The link below is a feedback page on ebay. When I clicked through the items, I developed the impression that at least some may be counterfeits. None of the coins is in my areas of expertise. Are the coins in these transactions counterfeit? http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...eftForOthers These items are currently for sale from the same seller: 111366616270 111366591296 111366630704 Two of the three look "odd" to me. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

He's not selling all the same type of coin. I'm sort of inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 2:20 pm Nothing jumps out at me as being counterfeit. As Lucky Cuss mentioned, the seller has his full name and ANA number on his listings as well as a 14 day return policy. As far as the listings you linked, I think the coppers look ok and the 1855-O Half appears to have an old cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff

happyhop Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 2:32 pm The first 2 have issues as noted (cleaning for sure) - and the '51 large cent has some minor corrosion issues but they look real by my somewhat untrained eye :-) Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 2:56 pm with everyone else: the coins appear authentic to me. The 1855 O Seated Half has definitely been cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 5:38 pm They all appear real to me. Their prices, on the other hand, seem a bit too high, and the Half Cent and the half dollar are cleaned. I'm sure that, with some careful sleuthing, you will find better-quality coins for the same or lower price. Report this Post to the Staff
