I didn't know it existed, and did a double take when viewing the picture.   06-26-2009, 07:17 PM   #7 (permalink) physics-fan3.14 Senior Member   Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Charleston, SC Posts: 418 My Mood: Cool pattern half. I definitely wouldn't buy it on Ebay from that seller, and I probably wouldn't pay that much for it anywhere- but it is super cool. __________________ I reserve the right to change my mind with new facts, experience, opinions, or viewpoints.

The guy might have the stuff - but he might be "borrowing" pictures from other sources, and trying to run a scam. Or, they might be counterfeits. Unfortunately, legitimate new dealers often get the bum rap on Ebay because of all the counterfeiters. __________________ I reserve the right to change my mind with new facts, experience, opinions, or viewpoints.

I wonder if this place started a new account after getting too much bad feedback. The tag on the back of the coins points to this place: http://www.rlhe.net It looks like all of their stuff is overpriced.
