nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 11:28 pm I've been bumming around on a newly found website called iOffer, and it seems like there are a couple good deals (and loads and loads of fakes). Here are three US mint/proof (?) sets with a bunch of grainy, too-small-to-be-identified-as-pictured world coins for $10.50 with free shipping... which actually seems like a good deal... http://www.ioffer.com/i/coins-and-p...ld-553768884 The rest of the website is full of counterfeits, including every CC-mark Morgan dollar for $40... Has anyone else used this website before? Is it as shady as it looks? Report this Post to the Staff

clairhardesty Pillar of the Community United States 1027 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 11:48 pm It looks awfully shady. I do not see any "COPY" or "REPLICA" on their coins, making them counterfeit and illegal to sell. For the Morgans, they also claim that the coins are silver, one claims "Weight: 26.73 grams Diameter: 38.1 millimeters" and sells for $7. Not only is it a counterfeit because the coin itself lacks the required text, but other claims are made that cannot possibly be true. It can't be the right diameter & weight or have any silver in it and sell for $7. Be completely suspect of anything from this site that claims to be genuine. To admit that a coin is a reproduction in the literature is not enough, the coin has to carry that info itself. Report this Post to the Staff

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 09:39 am I think you found the 1 lot that isn't way overpriced. However, it's the only numismatic item he's selling, & no feedback. The ist pic is US stuff, the 2nd, Germ & French, I believe. At least it's free shipping. Report this Post to the Staff
