Identical phraseology and images indicate these are all coming from the same source simply operating under differing seller names (all of which I probably haven't yet found). This is small time fraud in terms of the batch sizes and prices being realized, but it adds up, and as usual the greater damage is done in the secondary marketplace.

You are correct about the secondary market place. On the Morgans, it is the same bidders on the coins that appears to buying counterfeit coins for a secondary market.

Given the modus operandi in this instance, I'm concerned there may be a "whack a mole" aspect to your efforts.

Another seller:

And this one lists a " Trade dollar" that I don't recognize, but also some French "piastres des commerce" ( Trade dollars):

Yes, these latest two would seem to be linked to the three with which I started this off. And chances are, there'll be more to come....

Ugh ..... sometimes I think that preventing the coin market from being completely saturated with Chinese fakes is a hopeless task ..... this is one of those times.
