seller says, "I am very new to ebay. I explained in my ad to see the picture before you bid. I also said clearly that I do not know if it is authentic or not. I am confused and I do not know what to do since I have already have bids. Any suggestions ? Thanks."

Confused, it must have been that concussion from when he was dropped on his head.

The Counterfeit coin is known as, "Lightweight":

They must also be confused about the 1892 Morgan dollar they have listed since it is very clearly a silver round not a silver dollar.
