Even the '64 quarters appear to be fake. What were these bidders thinking?

I went to a place where a guy had a 1917. It was in FR condition and he wanted $80. Nope.

This is what happens when you have inexperienced, lacking in knowledge beginners. It will be an expensive lesson.

@vfhernandez1, click on the ebay link and then click see original listing. Look at the reverse of all these and you'll see how soft the reverse details are. This is typical for cast reproductions.

Those are variety 2, not variety 1. The three stars under the eagle on the reverse.

Note: The seller sold 6 items that tested out false and only got a neutral response.

That seller really needs to be shut down. All the recent commemorative halves sold are cast fakes and the mint mark on the 1889 CC doesn't really match any known reverse die. The C's are touching. Are there that many bidiots out there buying crap and leaving positive feedback? update - even the common date Morgans are cast repros!

I sent the seller and "cease and desist" message and this was his reply... "Yes you are the 2nd person to tell me that they were fake. I have canceled the sale and I'm refunding the money. I really didn't think that they were fake so I went to a local coin store and the Standing Liberty quarters are not even real silver. thanks for looking out for everyone."

I contacted ebay and sent a list of completed auction counterfeits to investigate. Everything this person has sold is crap. I don't buy the ignorance reply anyways.
