Should this fake be reported?

What a rip off

Yeah, that's totally a rip off. Interesting fake, but it looks nothing like my real one... I say it should be reported, although the current bid is fairly low

If by fake you mean counterfeit? Than yes if it is. Don't know enough about them to determine if it is a fake.

I've seen these on the Chinese distribution channels for weeks. It was only a matter of time before one landed on ebay. :-P

Just like the gold plated $50 Buffalo "tribute" coins they sell on TV.

As a matter of fact I think I have seen about 10 of those Buffalo commercials along with the Morgan dollar one today so far.

Perhaps the coin is legitimate and the seller doesn't know what he has/had? If he was a true ripoff artist I don't think he would have stated that it was plated.

It's an obvious knock off, but the seller is deceivious in the description, except for the (lack of) metal content.

The coin is certainly not legitimate.
