Can you believe someone flushed $2000 down the toilet on this obvious fake 1795 off-centered Bust Dollar:

The crook even showed the reeded edging and the raised rim on this fake.

Here's yet another fake 1795 off-centered Bust Dollar known as the "Dracula" because of the 2 fang marks on Lady Liberty's neck. Aside from the top layer of silver starting to wear off, it's not a bad fake. At least it doesn't have a rim and the buyer only flushed $1200 down the toilet instead of $2000. Where do these idiots get all this money to throw away?:

Oh well. If someone doesn't bother to do due diligence then this is what happens.

This Seller already has negative feedback for selling fake knives.... Looks like they just stepped up the game a few notches and decided that fake coins would do better. The flags were raised, the Buyer just didn't see them. That's sad.

Just hope the light comes on and the Buyer comes out of the fog before they hit the "Pay Now" button.

And of course, no returns accepted. This guy should be placed under arrest.

ebay needs to be called/emailed and given his user name and explain what's going on.
It's too bad these buyers just pull tge trigger like that.

By the time ebay reacts to these listings they are usually already over and the damage has been done. We used to could contact a knowledgable rep in "Trust & Safety" from the links on the ebay Coin Discussion board but that disappeared when they revamped the message boards. I know I used to contact them and listings would get pulled within hours. Not no more.

The first one is also a Vampire or Dracula hub fake as well, but I have never seen one with those die cracks before. (Fake dies crack too, just like real ones do.)

You're right Conder101, they are both Dracula coins. I was so disgusted with the rim that I didn't even bother looking at the rest of that coin. I guess the die cracks are showing-up now because the Counterfeit die has been used so much. I guess it's a 'rare' counterfeit die variety. lol

Lets just flag the listing. ebay reps couldn't care less. However, the ebay bots regularly check for flags and remove

If someone is willing to buy a coin of this stature off ebay, they deserve what they get. Sorry.
