This are about the worst looking set of fakes I have seen on the bay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Sil...em20d8072b55

I can't decide if all the dollar coins are the size of the quarter (maybe that one is real) or the quarter is the size of a silver dollar....

I don't know if I have ever seen worse pics, I mean you want $2000 at least find someway to give a half decent pic for the buyer.

Just in case you missed it, he left his name and phone number.

Any questions, ask David at (702)326-8892.

Oh no...

It could be one of those scams where it costs $50 a minute to call, though.

So act with restraint...

I like the "Indian Head" that is the same size as a Morgan? Since when did they make an Indian head silver dollar?

I saw this posting this morning and just about fell off the couch. It is so ridiculous, between the astronomical initial bidding price, no seller feedback, description of non-existent coins and photos that are horrendous.

Although that Washington Dollar is sure one-of-a-kind! LOL!

Let us know what his response is, I'm interested to hear what he says.

I'm pretty sure he already knows they are fakes.

Gosh, everybody sure is hard on this guy. I mean, he has free shipping. I can also tell that these are the solid Platinum versions of the coins, which are listed as quite valuable in the Purple Book

So report it. But officer, I SAW him breaking into the bar and complained to my friends about it...


If you don't file the report, ebay can't know about it to take action. There are some sellers who thing listing it in the coin category is OK as long as they also list in the replica category. I report those too, even if they clearly say "this is a replica".
