shaden Valued Member Australia 59 Posts	Posted 07/18/2012 04:17 am i gave them an ear full, after speaking to the last person that got sucked in with the same coin, hoping they ban this seller altogether, as he has plenty of scams on the go Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 4:34 pm I did a bit of research over the last couple days and the original seller (gr8-coins) of this fake makes quite a bit out of selling replica/copy coins. Here are some stats that could make buying rare or scarce coins off ebay a real trap for the unwary: What....................#Sold...$Realised 1915 Shilling ........3 $36.00 1916 Mule Halfpenny.....5 $60.00 1922/21 O'date 3d.......1 $12.00 1923 Halfpenny ........14 $170.00 1925 Penny ........19 $183.00 1930 Penny ........115 $1,356.00 1934/35 Melb Cent 2s....4 $42.00 1937 'Trick' Penny......26 $258.82 1938 Crown ........2 $24.00 1946 Penny ........12 $121.00 1954 'Trick' Penny......30 $307.09 Totals ................231 $2,569.91 All up, there were 149 different buyers, but these stats are from just one seller, so the potential for many of these to be re-sold as genuine coins is certainly out there. Buyers beware! I also have a list of all of the buyers, so if I ever notice any of these listed coins are for sale and then find the seller in this list of buyers, I'll alert everyone. If anyone else want a copy of my document, just PM me your email address and I'll send it to you. I have it as an Excel Spreadsheet, but I can convert it to a Word Doc, so just name your preference. If you happen to know of any other sellers of lots of fake/copy/replica coins, please let me know and I'll extract similar data for them as well. The more eyes watching the better. It is my intention to follow up and see if any of the buyers have already onsold their purchases, but that will be very time consuming. Some of them purchased multiple copies, so those are the ones I'll research first. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Edited by Nevol 07/19/2012 5:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 6:54 pm Good stuff Nancy,were these listed in replica's or were they listed in the normal coin section ? Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 9:22 pm thanks all. I had a look at some of his other listings - ONE FLORIN TWO SHILLINGS AUSTRALIAN - ... ORIGINAL COPY FROM 1917 VERY RARE TO FIND MADE FROM TIN AND LEAD there are a couple of "signed items" - alegedly signed by celebrities ... yeah ... but the one that got my attention is - NUMBER PLATE OWNED BY SQUIZZY TAYLOR auction starting at $10,000; or Buy-it-Now $100,000 I wonder how he connects the plate to a bloke who died in 1927 (and is buried in the same cemetery as Sir John MONASH, depicted on the current $100-note) ?
