Counterfeit Ebay Offer 1799 Dollar

You have got to be kidding me. It looks like something out of a comic book. The hair on the back of the head looks like it was cut off with a paper cutter. Don't even get me started with the "details" in the hair,the date,and the stars.

Our old friend, the scowling Liberty with the chicken-headed eagle again. Says an $800 bid, with "this listing has ended;" is that good or bad?

I double checked, philadelphian. No bids.
Not so much scowling as the woman is in pain.
$800 was the seller's starting price.

Every day I get updates from ebay showing new listings for the 1799.
Many are re-submissions. The exercise has trained my eyes.

The only way that message appears is if the seller did it on his own; it would have been a different message had ebay been the acting authority. I'm not going to judge your methodology - we each have our own methods - but had it been me I'd have only contacted the seller first and given him 24 hours to make good on his own. Not having seen the auction active, I don't know if the timeframe forbade such patience - had there been only a day or so left, I might have contacted ebay simultaneously - but I feel that in many such cases the seller deserves the right to come to his own senses.

Like I said, though, that's a judgement call regarding the seller's intent so I'm not stating my thinking as a hard recommendation.

Heheh, that one is pretty sad.

Well, that's the funny thing. Most "untrained eyes" don't even know what one is *supposed* to look like.

Even worse looking fakes have ended up in The Black Cabinet's stacks, and each one passed at least once as genuine before landing there.

Those lips!...I didn't know they were doing plastic surgery back in 1799. She should sue for malpractice or at least get on the web site showing plastic surgery gone wrong.
