If $5 coins (silver or not) are selling on ebay for $2.75US and free shipping, it's only a matter of time until counterfeiting of the X for X coins also becomes prevalent considering the denomination has risen to $200.00.

I agree counterfeiters will eventually beat our newly designed banknotes but RCM continues to churn out so much NCLT that the typical cashier or bank teller can't be expected to be familiar with the multitude of NCLT that get issued and it's not legal business tender but it's right on the line because if it's stated face value. I'd bet what we're seeing here is not only sellers who hope to hook naive buyers, but also a source where buyers knowingly purchase fakes with the intention of ripping other people off.

Thanks Bobby, for being a go-between with ebay!

Has anyone with close connections to RCM ever presented examples of this issue directly to them?

ugh my stomach churned reading this thread. Glad you got your money back and that the community has their eyeballs out for fakes and listings that are worded in a tricky manner.

Its bad enough that buying silver bullion coins is costly venture seeing that gold and silver are in down trends. Even worse being conned out of money for a fake

as someone said, buy only from reputable dealers if you must buy any silver or gold.
