As much as we have become enamored with our technology, nothing available through the magic of the internet can replace buying a coin from another person. It's much more difficult to scam someone face-to-face -- well, unless the buyer has his face stuck in his smart phone.

I have purchased couple thousand dollar coins off of ebay but it has always been a coin I knew something about. I knew it wasn't fake when I purchased it so you can't really say not to buy expensive coins on ebay. I have also sold multi-thousand dollar coins on there and have never had to relist one for not selling (most sold for more than I expected but a couple sold for retail). There are buyers on ebay that have deep pockets for the right coin so I would not say to not buy expensive coins from there, I will say that the buyer should know what they are buying if it were a $10.00 coin or a $10,000.00 coin

I'm hurt also. I've been selling on ebay on and off for 12 years now and I didn't make your list even though I have a 100% good feedback. I have also bought from 100's of dealers on ebay and only got whacked once and that was for a microscope from Hong Kong. I don't recognize many names on your list. How do you justify these dealers? I will agree with some members and that ebay commands a lower dollar limit on my purchases. I study the seller very closely especially his feedback. Tells you a lot and it cant be falsified either. I took a poll at the last 2 coins shows I went to and over 80% of the dealers there said they also sell on ebay one way or another. Forget trying to bash ebay and their sellers. Take a look at our Forum members who sell on ebay. A lot of them aren't on your list either.

Just my opinions

If you found the list on Google that should tell you its not worth even looking at. This Forum has a list also. I would tend to believe this Forum more than Google. If you want to get some info on any dealer just ask the members. Most of these members can give you info on most coin dealers on ebay or elsewhere. But, most of all, don't stop asking questions here. Remember "The only dumb question was the one that was never asked". Keep posting.

Good post edgman. Yeah it's from Google and took me to an ebay member portal, I think an ebay community forum. I'm sure the list isn't complete either it's just one members opinion keith040_0 is his id. I'm sure there are a ton more reputable ebay ancient coin dealers. I think this member has a blacklist too but I don't want to share it really. I don't know how legit that one is either.

I figure that producing a convincing counterfeit is a very expensive operation and the only way to make it cost effective is to produce fakes of coins that ordinarily cost hundreds of dollars.

Then why are there so many fake British pound coins in circulation? If they weren't making money they wouldn't be doing it, and if they have the ability to produce those fakes they should be able to produce much better quality coins at not a great increase in cost that will sell for much more the a pound apiece. If you take your time to make avery good fake and you can then produce it for 5 pounds each, it cost you the same whether you make a 20 pound coin of a 100 pound coin, but people will identify that 100 pound fake a lot sooner than the 20 pound one so you can sell a lot less of them.

True, people are going to scrutinize a 100 pound coin a lot more than a 20 pound one. I'd think all coins are up for counterfeiting really.
