I'm guessing the higher bidders are not too keen on these coins. Pictures really tell the story on this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/FIVE-MEXICO-COI...em2a0fecf66e Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Anarchus Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 9:42 pm The 2nd picture says it all... The 1st pic is a little tricky though, and I can understand how that could easily fool some... Report this Post to the Staff
Zarboy Valued Member South Africa 169 Posts	Posted 04/22/2011 01:17 am Ouch, Again the same story by the seller. "I am not a coin dealer, Bla Bla Bla, but if you look at his feedback of over 2000, amazing how many coins he has sold NOT being a coin dealer. I guess many unsuspecting people out there Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 04/22/2011 2:16 pm The fact that he doesn't seem to have a history of selling foreign coins would suggest it's an honest mistake, but you never know. Some people have learned to be really really sneaky with dumping fakes on ebay. The two 1950's coins may be real, at least the 1951 looks real. If so, the winner is getting around $50 worth of silver plus three souvenirs that an honest dealer would charge less than $5 a piece for. The first picture gives away the three 1800's coins too. The peso has irregular rim denticles and wrong color. The two 8 reales, if they were real, would have the most perfectly struck caps in existence - no way anyone would have two identical examples. Alas, a big sigh for the bidder. =( Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 1:51 pm "U CAN GRADE THEM BY THE PHOTOS I HAVE INCLUDED. " I can barely tell they're coins by the fotos he has included. I wonder why the potential fakes with "grade it yourself" always also have the crappiest pix? Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 2:40 pm It's the same when dealers try to dump fakes among lots of cheaper coins. Usually it will show only a piece, so you can tell what it is, but not that it's fake. Or it will just be blurry, so again you can get an idea of what it is, just not that it's fake. The funny thing is that both of these sellers have the same counterfeits, 8 reales 1882 Zacatecas mint. Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 04/28/2011 6:01 pm Prolly same supplier. The three largest sellers on ebay are the same company using three IDs. Surely the crooks do the same thing. Report this Post to the Staff
