Nuggetlucky Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 03/23/2017 1:44 pm I see lots of posts talking about buying counterfeits on ebay and elsewhere. Now I am paranoid! Is there an idiots list on how not to buy a counterfeit coin? Things to watch out for? Obvious scams? Report this Post to the Staff

For example, a suspicious Morgan or Trade dollar would go in the US Classic forum.

Chute72 Pillar of the Community United States 1314 Posts	Posted 03/24/2017 06:01 am Its getting bad. Sometime I might post a thread of all my counterfeits from China. I've been reporting the offenders, getting a refund and not required to return the coins in many cases. Now I'm being contacted by Chinese casting companies asking me if I want to do business. (I'm presuming they're looking for counterfeit distributors in the USA.) Report this Post to the Staff
DL20K Pillar of the Community Poland 3201 Posts	Posted 03/24/2017 06:57 am I remember reading this guide posted at ebay itself. It pertains to ancient coins so not everything will apply to modern ones but there is a summary/list at the end if you don't want to read it all.

Its good to have a checklist of the obvious, thanks! I realized that I can search for the seller name on the forum and you all post fraud and counterfeit. That will be my first indication. I will also be doing a google search on the name. Perhaps that will pull up bad reviews. I guess I can also look at CCF member ebay listings. Thanks for the advice on posting listings prior to purchase on the forum. Report this Post to the Staff
