Every listing I checked looked like it was fake to me.
I did get a good chuckle out of the fact that the buyer who said the coin was fake and the seller wouldnt refund his money mentioned there was "good communication"

Were quarters so much bigger during the time period bust quarters were minted? My Seated quarters look like the same size as my other quarters. I will have to compare them all. I see now though that there is a small size and large size. What makes you think it is counterfeit? Edited by buddy16cat

I only have one Bust quarter but the diameter on this one is way off. Is that the key indicator for you, BH and Basebal? I just want to learn more so I don't get burned. Other than the size difference I cannot tell anything else? What else am I missing?

The history of all the completed coin auctions by this seller have been removed. Any one taking credit for this?

I went to check the listing again to try and explain it but its been pulled, looks like someone reported it. If I remember correctly though the details on it looked mushy to me. His commemoratives had the same look instead of having crip defined details they were rounded in a way that didnt support their over all appearance. Even in worn grades authentic coins generally have well defined lines if that makes sense if not I apologize for the terrible explanation  . We really small zoomed out picture on all his listings was a red flag to me as well. Its not like were talking about Half Dimes or 3 cent silvers either where its really had to capture the details, these are supposed to be good sized coins. Any time I see red flags in the listings themselves I dont give the coin the benefit of the doubt on anything and it has to convince me its without a doubt real at that point. |

Early Capped Bust quarters are larger diameter. It was the date and denomination numerals that were way off. This clown had a bogus 1955 DDO Lincoln for sale that was a complete joke too. I hope the buyers who paid for this guy's counterfeits get them authenticated. He's sold some high dollar pieces recently that all look bad to me. |

It's just a shame to keep seeing ones like this post after post. I've been reading on all the counterfeit Washington quarters on older posts and it's just sad and discouraging for someone who just wants to upgrade their sets. Now, not only do I have to save to keep buying, but act as police determining if what I saved to buy is real or not. It seems to me that there should be a MUCH more substantial penalty than just having their auctions/sales pulled. I may be very naive on this, but I thought counterfeiting carried a VERY harsh penalty. I know PERHAPS they may not be aware of their fake merchandise, but jeeeeez!!! So as of now his items were pulled. So I guess he just sets up another account and may be selling in 24 hours, is this basically what will happen? |

Cap it does carry a stiff penalty but for the makers. The problem is theres so much of it the Secret Service arent going to chase someone down if they have one. They want the people making them which leaves a lot in the wild unless its turned into them. They have to prioritize what they do and local LEOs dont deal with things like that
