It's a fake. But several unsuspecting bidders are already eager to take the bait...

The seller would appear to be somebody who's not sophisticated in this field. The "Item specifics" and "Detailed item info" entries are all messed up, to boot.

Did you tell ebay about it? Here's the link to report it.

If you report it, I'll follow suit.

I did. But usually no action is taken.(I don't quite understand why I have to report it before you "follow suit". You shouldn't, unless you too can prove that the item is not authentic)

Hey, I was just trying to help. Two people on this thread just identified a fake coin. That's good enough for me. I'd report it as counterfeit and let it go at that. Just wanted to follow your lead that's all, since you know about the coin. Just got a coin removed today with other's help from this forum. One doesn't need to be an expert on a particular coin to help get a fake coin removed that others have already identified. I don't like seeing people get ripped off.
