E & V- Who did you report them to? I checked our ebay Counterfeit forum and didn't see them listed. If you reported directly to ebay, there is little chance of them being removed. Edit- correct typo

I reported the first one.
Anyone that buys the second one is an idiot, so not gonna bother.
There is nooooo way I'm getting into reporting MD. It would be a full time job. People have to learn.

Yeah, I'm tired of seeing these as well. The seller took down the first one. Quote: This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing.

Fantastic! All the preaching in the world ain't gonna stop the Bidiots - but I bet learning the hard way produces an instant lesson.! I still say the sellers know exactly what they are trying to pass off - otherwise how do they know how to describe it? And the bidders are their shill bidding friends in hope a real idiot comes into play!

Haha Mark! Do you remember when I bought that 2017 P LSC with Machine Doubling on it last year? I call it my "mistake" coin. I still have it.

In some cases uneducated buyers can do more harm to our hobby than the thieves do. When they discover their errors they blame all of coindom.
Bobby is our proven best weapon against them.

Yeah mark! It was a heck of a lesson, but I learned from it. I haven't bought anything with Machine Doubling since then. I don't plan on going to college right now. I could of used that 40 bucks for something else but oh well.

Quote: In some cases uneducated buyers can do more harm to our hobby than the thieves do I don't think so - "uneducated buyers" are in their own category. They don't influence a true numismatist. And once they learn the ropes the hard way then maybe spend more time reading than buying!

Ya can't fix stupid... period! There will be evil/bad people anywhere, it's up to you to decide just which category YOU will fall into. It is nobody else's "fault" that some people choose all by their lonesome to be greedy, impulsive or unknowledheable.

 I've learned a harsh lesson from it. At the time, I wasn't so swift about things.
