Have you seen the multitude of "14K" 50 pesos for sale on ebay today? I don't even know who to write, there are so many adds on this all of a sudden. Of course genuine Mexican 50 pesos are 900 fine (21.6K). These are made to look real and I don't see any kind of disclaimer. Is there a way to report such a "blanket" campaign on ebay rather than an individual ad? |

I think you can write a guide warning these people of fraudulent coins.
Their ads, however, are not at all false (but misleading) because they say restrike, 14kt and a total weight of something like .002gr of gold.
**oh.... I see what you are saying. I thought these were those mini coins.
As for the one that nohope posted, report it... and the seller, too.

Hello wd1049, I just went back to read one of the adds in its entirety and it is so good that I have to share a little more. the WHOLE text reads: GREAT INVESTMENT!! GOLD IS GOING UP!! THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PROOF FINISH SOLID 14K GOLD FROM MEXICO 1947 50 PESOS GOLD COIN THIS COIN WILL BE SHIP FROM MICHOACAN MEXICO PLEASE BID TAKING IN CONSIDERATION THE SHIPPING COST PAYMENT REQUIRE WITHIN 3 DAYS PLEASE EMAIL ME IF ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU GREAT INVESTMENT!! No qualifiers, no re-strike, at least they ask you to consider shipping costs which are then listed as $659 US (note no decimal). This is for Item number: 200343757341 but there are a wave of these up right now. |

THIS COIN WILL BE SHIP FROM MICHOACAN MEXICO I'm sorry but with all the corruption present right now in Mexico, I would not chance buying anything from there. Maybe in the past, not now. swcoin.ecrater.com

PLEASE BID TAKING IN CONSIDERATION THE SHIPPING COST Can I bid negative? Say... -$655?  Right, it ends in 1 day 13 hrs. Let's see if ebay gets this pulled. |

The same seller has at least a dozen equivalent adds up through out ebay in 2 basic versions. How can we "report" them all or will ebay check out the seller's other adds? |

Hey Steve, I already contacted ebay for all that seller has. If ebay doesn't remove him due to peddling counterfeits, they will definitely slam him for the shipping (cuz then ebay doesn't make money on the insertion and the fees!) |
