thq Pillar of the Community United States 3344 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:18 pm I've seen some outrageous fakes on ebay but this falls in a very special category. A $30,000 fake. Beyond that it is an absolutely terrible fake. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2866229759...e+%2410+1874 For $30,000 I want a better fake than this. The seller must have been browsing Northern Nevada to set his price. Naturally there are no returns and the seller has no history. But this is the real prize: "This coin is uncertified, adding to its authenticity and appeal for collectors looking for unique and rare pieces." "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Edited by thq Yesterday 11:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I've seen much better looking fakes than this. Not impressed. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys Yesterday 11:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25663 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:52 pm thq, I reported this fake UK 5 Pound 1839 Proof ($16,000) that has the word COPY on the back to no avail. ebay cares more about you assigning a grade to your coin than ensuring that it's real. 226825931251 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Edited by HondoB Yesterday 11:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
