If I had an expensive coin and "didn't know" if it was genuine, I'd sure as heck would be finding out. ebay says if you "don't know", you are saying it's genuine. New policy is you can't sell replicas, even if you sell them as fakes. |

How about posting the listing, so we can choose whether to deal with him.

mysterimen- I'm sure by now you prolly feel we're trying to keep you from collecting US coins so we can have them at cheap prices. Nothing could be further from the truth, we are trying to keep u from throwing money away on "bargain" fakes. Most of the coins you posted would immediately be seen to be fakes, even by beginner collectors in the US. Instead, they sell them in Portugal, where most dealers and almost all collectors have never seen a real one to compare. A 93s is worth thousands of dollars, even in very worn condition. Most US dealers have never had one. If they do, they prolly had it certified by experts. No one is going to sell such a coin cheap--remember, they can find buyers in the US just as easily as you found them--the Internet is everywhere in the world, even in villages where they pedal bicycles to make electricity for their computers. DO NOT remove names from pix. If we can look at other items they offer, we may find they have many fakes. --Your friends at ccf. |

You dont have to worry about that you are right about the prices, I'm looking for spot prices and thats it!

They are produced mainly in China with pot metals. It costs them less than 5 cents a copy to produce. Your friends here on CCF are trying to save you and your interest in coins. Spending spot money for these imposters will definitely sour your outlook. |

Screams fake. If this coin is not certified by a major TPG and reputable dealer, AVOID like the plague. Being in a PCGS or NGC holder is just not good enough any more. westcoin said it best ;) swcoin.ecrater.com

Well until now I have been lucky with the coins I bought, as far as I know they are all real as I posted them to the comunity! Your story is sad and unfortunately, common. You need to be able to "help yourself". Here are the tools to get you started. - Buy a digital scale. They can be had online for around $15 U.S. - If you are buying locally, take that scale with you and weigh the coins. All of these replicas will be significantly underweight. The counterfeit Morgans I've encountered were around 22 grams. A real Morgan comes off the press at 26.73 grams and lose less than 1.5grams for a Good graded example. Anything under 25grams should be considered fake. Apply the same percentages to other denominations. Here's an extract from Coin Facts that tells you what the mint weight is for the examples you've shown, plus the silver content of genuine pieces. - If you are purchasing online, make sure the seller has a return policy. Weigh the coins as soon as you receive them and contact the seller immediately if one turns out to be not genuine.  We are all saddened that you have gone done this path and may not be able to recover what you've invested. Use these tools, and those that I'm sure will be posted by others, to "right the ship". |
