I'd like to take a length of 2" hardwood dowel to that seller.
With that out of the way, it must be said that he pretty plainly tells the reasons why you'd be a fool to buy his coin.

Yeah - definitely a scam...
Seller said it himself in his listing: "BUYER BEWARE"

This guy knows exactly what it is.
Yeah, 2x4 sounds about right.

A 2 x 4 is too good for him. The funniest thing about his auction is he is basicaly telling everyone that this is a rip off. I guess something does not have to be illegal to be unethical.

I just told him it was a Chinese fake and that it is illegal to sell them in the USA. I told him that he now knows it is a fake as I was sending a copy of the email to myself and that I have reported the auction. he could be fined and put in prison for knowingly selling it. Let's see if he will cower or if he is a golddigger.

What an idiot-posting an ad to sell a coin and than telling people not to buy it.
Must be trying to use reverse psychology.

Think I might make an offer of $1.00 maybe it would cover the shipping  |

I bet he is fully aware that the "cc" mintmark on an 1846 Silver dollar stands for "chinese counterfeit" not Carson City".

It will be interesting to see if it gets pulled

I'm not sure it will get pulled. The listing is not in the least deceptive.

http://cgi.ebay.com/200618541020 (link with garbage removed) I'm pretty sure ebay rules say that unless you specify that it's a copy (of what, in this case?), it must be genuine, and lack of knowledge on the seller's part is no excuse. I think they'll pull it. Deceptive? I think so. They're trying to make bidders think it might be some sort of pattern coin. Even with the lousy pix, it looks like he opened one staple to examine it.
