I reported a few of the listings to ebay and sent a note to the seller that if sold in the USA they must clearly be marked. Why does ebay accept such listings?


Here's one of the item numbers: Item: 113123738005

Seller: tomi1908pozega

...he replied:

...yes have write copy,replica or reproduction

I asked for clarification as to where the word copy would appear and if he is handwriting it in?

Yes, (he's from Croatia) and has sold 37 reproductions of the 1941 Balboa.

Another seller "mycollect" from Israel is doing the same thing (with copies of the entire set of Balboa notes) and has sold 31 of these "sets."

His item description:

"VERY GOOD CONDITION - UNC! NOT REAL BANKNOTE - REPLICA, COPY!These replicas (copies) have no value "

Sad...

Has anyone bought from this particular seller before ? If so, how good are the replicas ?

Hard to judge from the pictures, bought a couple from another seller, pic looked good
but when it arrived it was obvious it was printed from a inkjet printer.

The good ones usually do not have a halftone pattern when viewed with a magnifier.

Following up with e-mails the best I could understand is that he will "write" the word copy on it. No way would I pay the asking amount for a copy with hand writing on it. Personally I believe he just sells them without writing copy on it.
