Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 01/11/2007 7:35 pm These fakes are a major problem on ebay. Many of them are removed by ebay when reported, but new sellers (or old sellers under new ID's) crop up every day. Forums like this are a big help toward educating yourself against fraud. The more knowledge you have at your fingertips, the better prepared you are to purchase on the internet. By the way, welcome to our CC family! Report this Post to the Staff

Lightwind_99 Valued Member Philippines 52 Posts	Posted 01/12/2007 03:13 am Yup it's a cheap fake, the indentations aren't that vivid, it was my first impression. By the way, I just noticed that the seller had a buyer last two weeks ago and bought a 1804 Draped bust dollar that sold for $100+ and of course I determined the coin was also a fake from comparing it to the real photos of a genuine draped bust dollar. Sigh....its a one expensive fake coin tsk..tsk. Report this Post to the Staff

Lightwind_99 Valued Member Philippines 52 Posts	Posted 01/12/2007 10:05 am By the way here is the picture of the fake coin that sold for $100+ i copied this one from their ended list, and of course its not a good fake. Image: a1.jpg 27.3 KB Image: a2.jpg 29.44 KB oh furthermore I just asked the seller if the coins he's selling are real or not, all he said was " I dont know, I'm not an expert on coins"............... Ignorance is bliss hehe right guys Report this Post to the Staff
gusp Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 01/12/2007 2:50 pm I am moving to relative moderns and the forgotten. Would ya believe Rossie dime full torch gems? Who gonna copy them? Not rare enough right? Go find them. As if! Used to be that way with FBL Franklins and FS Jefferson nickels. Find them now. Worse, check out the prices. Between crooked dealers, suspect TPGS, and counterfeits, Why bother? Well,..It is cheaper than Heroin and Crack. And Junkies are Junkies. Donna believe it?...Ask your spouses!.. Right? If you are seeking the truely rare coins, Or even more importanly, honesty and numistmatic knowledge, you are gonna need an honest broker. I recommend Don Bonser. He does not really know me but I know of his integrity and work. For many years. That man is honest. Cannot help himself! Perhaps it is just his nature. Very good thing Don!.. Imagine. Proof? Go check him out for yourself.. P.S. I was at FUN in Orlando this month and listened to him speak. The man still does not have dishonesty in him. Never will. Watch as his legacy continues to grow. Do yourselves a favor and meet him. Walter Breen was that way. Right on Donnie! Your torch burns bright, and I know that Walter is grinning. It is within all of us. Gusp Report this Post to the Staff
