This may not be a shock to many or news to others but many major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, etc. all have a Marketplace section or option to refine your search to various overseas sellers rather than directly from the store.

You can purchase obvious fakes such as SMLs, ASEs, AGEs and Chinese Panda coins and in some cases have them sent to your preferred store! As the saying goes 'if it seems too good to be true, it probably is' and another reason to be vigilant and do your homework before wasting your hard earned dollars.

Check out the well done YouTube video and link below for more information.

I've seen so many fake silver eagles on ebay selling for about 25 dollars with a stock image, supposedly shipping from a U.S. address and I report them to ebay but get messages saying there's nothing wrong with the item despite the crazy price.

I think it was late 2023 / early 2024 when I first came across Canadian coins being offered at the Walmart web site. It surprised me, as I would not have expected it - it seemed out of place.

Thanks for drawing attention to the problem of fake coins from "Walmart."

If you build a marketplace, the contraband will come.

Nice paraphrase!

I might have to use it at some point!
