mamastinky Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 02/02/2016 01:27 am 181994335851 I purchased this coin on ebay and it just arrived today. I am concerned about this seller, I am not sure how this works, but this guy has been doing this for awhile judging by his sold listings. High dollar. The photo here I took today. Just look at the date and mint mark. I found an picture in a google images search that matches exactly the obverse of this coin, with a link to a Chinese seller, although I cannot find the item page on the site. I asked the seller where he got the coin, and he replied, "This was one of my duplicates. I ve had it since I was a little kid."

JimNWLincoln Pillar of the Community United States 906 Posts	Posted 02/02/2016 02:05 am The coin does have the look of a Chinese copy that was made using a cast manufacturing method with weak details and odd surface texture & tone. The seller has their prior sales/feedback listed as private, so I can not look at prior sales. Let's see if other forum members can offer more definitive details that might assist you in getting a refund of your purchase price & shipping. Report this Post to the Staff
mamastinky Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 02/02/2016 02:38 am View sold items page HERE. He has a 14 day return policy. I was prepared to eat the loss in case I were able to submit the coin to proper authorities. I do not believe this is the first counterfeit this seller has sold on ebay, nor do I believe the seller is unaware of its authenticity. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 02/02/2016 03:00 am Some of those SOLD coins definitely look fake. They have the blah mushy cast look. Those 1909 S IHCs, and especially the 1921 S Buffalo. Edited by edweather 02/02/2016 03:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
Go-Rebels Pillar of the Community 681 Posts	Posted 02/02/2016 10:51 am I'm wondering if he deals exclusively with counterfeits. This 26-s Buff looked decent until you see the raised dots on the right, reverse rim. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1926-S-Buff...047675.l2557 Report this Post to the Staff
