Counterfeit Coins. BEWARE.

There is a new tactic being used to sell counterfeit coins, The coins come in a slab with 5 or more of the same coins, such as Peace dollars, Draped Bust dollars, Seated Liberty dollars, all the same date in the slabs, poor artificial antiquing and presented as either authentic to the category or as 999 silver. There are a few different usernames selling the same product, but it is my opinion it is one seller using multiple usernames. I have reported these listing and have received replies from eBay that either, a representative or AI has checked into the listing, but they do not violate eBay policy. Be aware when a listing of 5 supposed silver pieces has a low bid and a look as I have described. I am disappointed there is not more effort put into reigning in counterfeit coins on eBay as it hurts the selling platform as well as unsuspecting buyers who will lose faith in eBay as a reputable marketplace for collectables.

Re: Counterfeit Coins. BEWARE.

Was in Hong Kong at the mid-levels.....talked to a coin seller. Available for me to buy were plastic sleeves of some of the most rarest coins in the world. We discussed a price for 10 full sleeves with 8 individual coins per sleeve All was good until I offered to pay for them with "GOLD US DOLLAR COINS", based on the value of gold. He was actually "rude to me" ! Hence of course I did not get the 80 rare coins.
