Seller's auction title is: Coin Book Lot. Gold Ingot And Gold Coin Pieces, Copper Coin And Hard Times Token

In the description, he writes: "I can not guarantee the authenticity or content of the coins as they have not been authenticated. Only buy if you understand the above and agree that there are no returns."

Of course, he likely knows that if these pieces were real, they'd be worth more than $20,000.

Reported as they are breaking several ebay policies. Selling raw uncertified coins over $2500. Listing replica coin without stating that fact, and these obviously are each coin having a R stamped into the design, these are also undersized from original coins.

I'd love the set but I don't think I'd pay much over $20.00 including shipping. Several pieces are missing also.

This is an obvious fake and the seller knows about it.

It is not fakes . These are R Marked replicas
and look nothing like the real deal.
These were advertising pieces for
GENERAL ELECTRIC Corporation and would hardly fool
any serious collector .
Same old never ending story , you go and spend
a boat load of dough on coins without knowing
a lick about them . See it all the time !

For $20,000, a person could buy a decent boat.
