Is this against any rules or is it borderline? Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 12:32 pm He does list it as a "Mystery" coin and does place a pair of question marks after Gold, so it's possible he simply doesn't know what it is and hopes someone will need it. I don't think this poor little brass bit will fool anyone. It was probably made for jewelry rather than to deceive collectors. You've done your job of informing him as such, and I've done the same thing. Perhaps he will pull it or make note of the questionable issues, but with the way he's listing it, I don't think it necessarily goes against any ebay rules. Report this Post to the Staff

Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 1:01 pm And the statement... "about the size of a Half Dime" so he knows more about coins than he is letting on. Most non coin people would not know how big a Half Dime is. Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 1:33 pm I'd guess it's play money or a jeton. Here's one similar in size for $40. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LIBERTY-SPI...371335760298 There's probably a group of collectors for this, whatever it is.

Mike1487 Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 5:49 pm How can he "guarantee" that it is "original" and "authentic" (as he states) if it is a mystery coin that he doesn't know what it is? This is sad. Report this Post to the Staff
Copper Penny Connection Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 5:53 pm I cant pinpoint where I remember this from or what it is, but if my memory serves me right, This is a valuable piece! perhaps civil war token? I just know I have seen that before with a hefty tag on it. As Far as the 2nd coin, the SPIEL MARKE, I have seen that as well. not very valuable. perhaps $20 Edited by Copper Penny Connection 08/14/2015 5:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
