Apparently Etsy seller Mery Apro is selling my 1916 Standing Liberty quarter for just $22 with free shipping. They have 2 of them left and 9 are sitting in carts.

Etsy listing with my coin

Compare to my coin here: https://fairfaxcoins.com/product/19...-quarter-n1/

For posterity for when the listing disappears:

Sounds to me like an Etsy troll has stolen your images and is likely duping folks into buying coins worth considerably less than yours.

I feel insulted that it's only going for 22 bucks...

I just bought one. I have a complete set of SLQ's minus the 1916. I will post some photos when I get it in hand, and we can see how it compares to a genuine example. I am most likely going to be highly disappointed for my $22.

No doubt they stole your images in order to sell these (below). @slider23 I'm not sure why you would pay $22 for this junk when you can buy them for $1.13 direct from China. Note that "COPY" is undoubtedly only a watermark (identical on both sides?) so it's still violating the Hobby Protection Act.

I'm sure that seller will sell you a roll of them.

I was trying to think of why he calls it a "commemorative coin." My guess is that because it's a copy, it commemorates the real coin.

I noticed in the third paragraph, he calls it a 1918 SLQ.

Note:
"Handmade" (counterfeit)
"Order today to get by Jan 3-29" (long time)
If you look at their shop...you see they are just a front for a Chinese counterfeiter.
