Seller is in Greece.
There are 4, all identical, for 50 bux BIN!

These things must be hot off the Chinese presses IMO.

Aren't the eagles on the reverse completely wrong?

Sad thing is someone will probably snatch these up.
The same seller has 6 1898 Morgan dollars for 75 BIN.
Then he has some "Liberty" dollars... 1865.
Those look just like Washington quarters...

To those of you who have been saying the obv and reverse are incorrect, that's because they are counterfeits of a pattern coin J1315. See:

Oh, they are definitely real, where real refers to reality.

They are just not authentic.

Man, there is always one in every crowd... So, is this forum "real" or is it just a bunch of electrons on a metal disk, and random streams of electrons skipping across a copper wire creating a random design on a collection of liquid crystals on my desk?

Holey cow!
The 6 Morgans for 75.00 BIN...
Check his 'completed listings'.
He has already sold 3 sets of 6!
There are 3 of those auctions with buyers.

ahh come on, are you telling me you don't think these are real either? http://cgi.ebay.com/U-S-Liberty-Dol...es_W0QQitemZ160269399256QQihZ006QQcategoryZ11977QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I mean come on, just because the design wasn't even on a coin in 1865 doesn't mean it isn't real
