Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 6:58 pm Identified in the description as "Copy, replika, Novodel" but somebody's probably going to buy it thinking it's the real deal anyway. Pretty poor counterfeit, shouldn't fool anyone with any knowledge of these. Seller has a scrolling inventory associated with this listing with other U.S. commemorative issues mixed in; I haven't looked at them specifically but wouldn't expect them to be any less phony than this one.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15420 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 7:44 pm Concur ... auction from China with non-authentic coins. This Bay Bridge as well as his/her listed Lynchburg (listed as a Cleveland half) are obvious reproductions ... hopeful to not fool any educated collector.

Foxwoods Man Pillar of the Community United States 4901 Posts	Posted 03/17/2015 08:41 am There are a few sellers of fakes presently selling MANY different US coins...all these sellers are from China, all say replica somewhere in the listing. The coin does NOT say copy or replica on it so it is a prohibited item. I have reported maybe 10 of these to ebay in the last 2 weeks and NONE have been removed from sale.
