jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 02:28 am That is because the coin in question is either phoney as a Carson City Bust Dollar or Lady Liberty had a serious nose job. Just my humble opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 03:06 am the hair is horrible looking also. This thing has all kind of red flags. I can't believe it has gotten that many bids on it especially with no return policy since it says "ALL OF OUR AUCTIONS (UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE) ARE "BUY AS IS". IF YOU CANNOT ACCEPT THIS POLICY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON OUR ITEMS" Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 03:30 am Those bids are high...on that? Life is full of surprises--some easily avoidable. Edited by DVCollector 09/30/2010 03:32 am Report this Post to the Staff

cperry8483 Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 05:31 am How would one report this to ebay? I see no option for "counterfeit coin", the closest I can see is "bootlegs and counterfeit media". They have a bunch of gold eagles and double eagles listed too, I wonder how many of those are fake as well: http://coins.shop.ebay.com/Coins-US...3911.c0.m282 Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 05:43 am http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...lling+Coins+ Always use this link to the CCW to report ebay auction violations. Do not use the standard auction reporting methods. This link has a much faster response time. *Staff note: ebay closed down their coin policy enforcement department suddenly in 2014 and reassigned those employees to other work* Report this Post to the Staff

I use the "Prohibited Items" area to report counterfeits, and then explain the coin is obvious counterfeit without "Copy" or "Replica" stamped on it. Report this Post to the Staff
sgtbigred Valued Member United States 83 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 10:02 am Another prime example of not buying raw "gold" coins in this price range especially online. Now some poor fool may or may not be taken for a ride. Report this Post to the Staff

oldno7 Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 2:17 pm Is it just me or is the word Copy showing under the shield on the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff
albumcollector Valued Member United States 285 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 2:21 pm oldno7, you're right it clearly says "COPY". Report this Post to the Staff
oldno7 Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 09/30/2010 2:29 pm The seller states that he has 3 of them and he is either using the same picture or all of them are copies. "Copy" is on all 3. Report this Post to the Staff
