I forget which thread it was, but wasn't there a thread where we could report counterfeit coins to a person who is proactively working alongside ebay to remove them?

Here's one from Asia:

In his description, the seller says the bars are gold
"layered" so I don't know if this makes it legal or not.
Rest in Peace

His description of "100 mils" is the thickness of the plating - thus you are supposed to infer that it is NOT soldid. Keep in mind that a 'good' plating will be in 'Thou' or Thousandths of an inch...his is in 'Millionths of an inch'. I don't think he is 'lying' persey, but an inexperienced buyer would be the fool (as in Barnum & Baily - "A fool and his money are soon parted")

Who in this forum is helping to remove the lots? :P

All the lots I posted yesterday got pulled from ebay.

Every time I post them on CCF, they immediately get removed from ebay so someone here obviously has connections. I will continue to post fakes until they are removed.

Hopefully more people selling this "junk" will get their just reward.

With a string of elegant houses and a fleet of cars to rival a millionaire footballer, his business was clearly booming.
Yesterday, however, he was behind bars after being revealed as a rag trade fraudster who raked in his fortune selling counterfeit goods.

So cheap....except of being unable to produce/create, but to buy and resell, they also selling fakes.

I will understand the buyer, but not the seller.

Another Canada NCLT "re-strikes" (FAKE):

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/5-2014-Canad...em487f3eda3d

the seller has many "re-strikes" from RM, Perth, Russia, even Mineral Art coin (is it plastic mineral?)

We can't win against the counterfeiters. It will in time kill most of the hobby for both NCLT and bullion stackers.
Go to the Not Allowed web site and do searches for things like Royal Canadian Mint, bullion, APMEX or any other big refinery. It's amazing what is out there

I don't buy "buyer beware|", anyone that sells this garbage is part of the problem and as without morals as any other thief.

Not sure if I broke a rule, In my 1st paragraph you will see the phrase "not Allowed". It is reference to a giant open market from China

Good work, thank you.

Not possible eliminate all, but certainly marketplace became bit cleaner.

I still believe, there is a demand for such items, but somehow the production should be regulated, like:
pay the fee, strike with design elements only, remove denomination (and country)
will be nice artistic rounds

You can get 2013 and 2014 Complete Superman Set including the gold coins from both years for a mere $45.

By this time next year, I am sure they will include the 2015 set.
