I was trolling ebay for something and came across this and I thought, can that be right? Did somebody pay THAT much for an item declared a fake? Help me, what am I missing? It must be so obvious I cannot see it?

Surely I must be missing something?

If you go to coin shows lately you would notice an ever growing amount of counterfeit coin colletors. many are actually now looking for fakes of all kinds and some even pay more for a good counterfeit than the original. This is just one more quark of the ever growing coin collecting boom. This boom has broght out individuals that write books on coins and don't even collect them. Products such as 2x2's, 1-1/2 x 1-1/2's, albums, folders, plastic and paper rolls, notebooks for those plastic sheets for 2x2's and on and on.
Oddly enough that fake noted here could bring double that at a coin show and the more it states fake, the faster it will sell.

Hmmm.....

I have have some sulfuric acid, copper sulfate, and sugar.

Are you saying I can turn a 20¢ coin into a $650 coin. Do I need to start with AU expamples, or will VG examples work just as well??
