Just went from $41 up to $56 in the last few minutes, and there's over an hour left.  COunterfeit collectors looking for the latest versions out there? Clueless bidders? Shills? |

The listing says 1928.. but I see 1828 on the 'coin'.
These weren't minted in 1828. am I correct?

The Peace dollar series ran from 1921 to 1935 . The coin is an obvious fake as well as the auction format being hijacked also as per Bobby's post . |

An 1828 Peace dollar, eh? Must be a rare pattern piece. I wonder what its Judd# is? Cpfull, Bobby131313's post has a link to a well-established ebay seller (vette1986). The bizarre offering from a first-time ebay seller (vistercollection) referenced in Metalman's link uses the exact same format. |

I still can't quite understand how auctions like these can get so many bids. I know, I know, just because P.T. Barnum said it doesn't mean I have to understand it all the time.

This auction does get me to thinking ... I wonder to what extent the numismatic bull market of the past 8 years is being fuelled by the clueless?

Just thought you guys would like to see how ebay handled my report of this auction through the link Here for reporting such auctions . Keep in mind I reported this auction the same time as I posted the topic on here . Dear ebay Member, Thank you for writing ebay in regard to suspicious coin listings. Because ebay does not employ or train its Trust & Safety Customer Support Representatives to be experts in the area of coins and currency, we rely on expert opinions from knowledgeable people as well as reliable third party organizations, such as the American Numismatic Association ( ANA). Your report will be reviewed by a group of members that comprise a community watch group for coin auctions. They then confer amongst themselves and either agree or disagree that the listings are problematic. They then forward that information to the ANA for review. The ANA can then agree or disagree after careful consideration. If they agree, they then contact the seller directly. Sellers are then afforded 24 hours in which to revise or cancel the auctions. If they fail to do so, ebay must cancel the auction. seems to me it would be in ebays best interest to employ a couple of numismatists in the trust and safety dept. Metalman |

they make it sound like everyone who lists a coin has a ebay store and can keep their items listed for 30 days, because it sure can take a long time to keep passing this around and since most of these scams are 3-7 days I think they would probably end before everyone had a chance to look at it and then ebay wait 24 hours for the seller to take it down before ebay does it themselves |
