Rare Silver Susan B. Anthony Dollar

Why would just single that 1 out when there are at least another 21 for sale at almost the same price. Honestly if someone would spend that much for a coin let them. We can't protect everyone or actually anyone from being clueless.

It's such a shame. ebay used to screen listings for authenticity but I guess their desire to make more money has overtaken their need to be honest. I actually did get a reply back from the seller who had this to say: "Excuse me , mine is not a fraud it what my grandfathers . Please leave me alone."

Here is a copy of what I wrote to him:
"Hello. This listing is a FAKE rarity. All SBA dollars were minted with the same design by Frank Gasparro. You have no sales history and no reputation but if you happen to sell this coin, taking advantage of an unschooled buyer, that will change and you will be known as a swindler that no one will buy from. Your listing (and other, similar FRAUDS) is/are being discussed on every major coin forum and ebay has been alerted about your fraud. Stop this!"

Don't forget, this coin also features the rare FG initials, which stand for Frank Gasparro

I once bought a silver coin from a Chinese seller with ZERO feedback on ebay...yes, I too like to live dangerously

Dont let it get to you so much, there are tons of coins on Etsy and ebay that are mistaken listings at high values for what they actually are or at least for what they are really worth, and sometimes you also get intentional mistaken coins like that. Intentional fraud like fake silver and gold or coins are probably the main ones to try to get delisted. There are tons of threads here, some are funny in what people ask for coins.

We obviously want people to be able to sell ungraded errors or varieties as many are not of high enough value to warrant sending in for a certification but best to work on educating yourself so you don't buy something that is not worth what you pay for it. The feedback system on ebay is pretty good to get a feel also for a seller, one with no or few sales may not be someone to buy things that may be sketchy.

just reported it.

now reads only $1 coin...any reference to silver seems gone (11:34 CDT)

I contacted the seller for grins, with "I'm curious what makes you think this coin is rare. They ALL have the FG designers initials."

Their response: "I'm learning and it's what the ai suggestion from ebay was . I'm new . But I've been talking to different people. I don't believe it is rare I'm not sure . I'll have to get it checked out more from a professional. Because I've had different people tell me different stuff."

I have no idea what they mean about "AI did it" but I've never posted on ebay. All I can figure is that the No FG half dollars somehow morphed into a dollar coin having FG being rare. But who knows what goes on in people's brains, especially when they think they'll strike it rich.

Looking further, there are a bunch of these with "[Rare FG - Frank Gasparro]" in the title, or similar, with ridiculous asking prices. Maybe someone started this and ebay really is suggesting it in the title, I have no idea. There's even one touting "No FG" (rare of course) but the FG is plainly visible. There's no end to the nonsense on ebay I guess.
