NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18076 Posts	Posted 04/27/2025 5:47 pm You can tell the coin's a forgery as one of the photos shows the edge inscription starts 'DECUS ET TUTAMEN' whereas this date should have the Scottish inscription. I reported it to ebay as a forgery and got exactly the same response as you! My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff

Removing forgeries is bad for their business, I suppose. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 100913 Posts	Posted 04/27/2025 9:41 pm Face it - ebay has gotten far too big for their britches. Maybe it is time to start reporting to a higher controlling power - such as the Corporate Commission (or something similar) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19338 Posts	Posted 04/27/2025 10:11 pm Wonder what numismatic 'policing' would look like within the ebay enterprise? Would ebay hire a cadre of credentialed numismatic experts to evaluate challenges to listings, or contract out that service? Certainly it would cost something to do that. Wonder where those costs would be shouldered? Would ebay recognize the Coin Community Forum as a 'final' authority? Interesting--eBay 'automatically' sends certain trading cards, such as Pokemon, out to a third party grading service for authentication if the sales/purchase price reaches or exceeds a $250(?) threshold. For example, a Pokemon card graded by PSA (and is in a PSA holder) sells for $400. That card and its holder are sent off for authentication--using an ebay mailing label provided. If the card passes, it is sent on to the buyer. Only then is the transaction complete. Do something similar for coins? What fun... Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10601 Posts	Posted 06/17/2025 12:35 am I see nobody has posted here in awhile - hope I'm not resurrecting a closed thread. What do you think is going on here? A 1885-CC Morgan for BIN $30.21? I'm guessing a stock picture of a real one but no words of "copy" anywhere in the description. ebay item number:357105235929 Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 76244 Posts	Posted 06/17/2025 12:51 am Marve65, you're probably right. The price is just too good to be true. You'll probably get a cheap copy of a Morgan dollar instead of a real one. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10601 Posts	Posted 06/17/2025 01:10 am Jeez, after looking through the Morgan listings on ebay I think there are more fake Morgans than genuine Morgans for sale - this is ridiculous! Report this Post to the Staff
