Just saw this Chinese counterfeit up on ebay getting some bids. Note the die chip on the inside center of the left wheat.

It happens. I came across a fake 1944 steel that went for over $10k and spurred this thread. Thank goodness for buyer protection.

Does the ebay buyer protection apply to any amount? It seems like they would cut it off far below $10000.

Already up to $440.00. I spent about that much on an artificially antiqued 1917 P DDO-001 FS-101. After contacting the seller he was happy to take it back and give the full refund.

Hopefully the listing gets pulled in the next couple hours. The word GOD also looks terrible compared to a real one. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...d-1c-bn/2471

Almost this will be great for someone's collection...Please feel free to throw up an offer.

Quotes above are from the sellers item description.. "Almost" yes I agree not quite, but almost.
..and "throw up" that's an accurate description I'd say.

It's strange how many people selling fakes or overpriced junk coins on ebay seem to have disabled relatives and need money for medical expenses. Perhaps owning fake coins is bad for your family's health?

Seller's pics for posterity:

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
