I just noticed a rather odd thing on
ebay. The item is a tourist replica of half of a 1732 Pillar dollar. They are one sided - with the other side giving a brief description of the "coin". They were sold in sets of a $1.00 at numerous locations. The only interesting thing about this one is that the description points to a French or Canadian origin.

The coin shown is the one you will receive. This coin is beleived to be an authentic silver dollar from 1732
Good luck!!! How can anyone believe that?
