Just doing some perusing before I go into work and BAM this one leaped off the page as a pretty bad fake. What is worse is that there are bids on it. Still active as of this message although reported as such. Here is the image in case it is taken down beforehand;  http://www.ebay.com/itm/1876-Nickel...em1e8a5eee07I just looked at the sellers other items and there is a 1871 3CN that looks just as bad.

While I don't collect 3CNs--I'd say looks sorta obvious too--why are people bidding?  |

Looks like the legends on that one were made with an old typewriter.

Reported.
I think it would be fun to own something like this, but for no more than about 5 bucks.

It appears ebay has listened to us. I reported the Bar Cent as well; it's fake too. |

That's an easy cast copy fake.

She's just a little too chubby! Haha! I would love to own that coin, as long as I could get it at novelty price.

I am amazed at how many people bid on obvious fakes. People need to learn the coins they are buying!!
