This sure looks like offshore marketing of fake US coinage through eBay

all crap.

 

My other post vanished:

on this:

note how the Merc 1942/1 is buried quietly on the bottom.

all junk

 

and, wonderful English at the bottom

 

How do we even report things on eBay now? They don't make it easy. I wish I could report counterfeits on the app.

At least that counterfeiter has no idea what they are doing.

 

I noticed the 23 day shipping.

Also, look out for counterfeit CWT store cards being sold on EBay from Greece and Romania.

 

Just report them to the Secret Service. They are very interested in counterfeiting and companies that support it.

 

Not sure about the app, but on the desktop version of the site, scroll down a bit and on the right-hand side, there should be a small link that reads "Report item".

 

Reported the first auction. Will do the same with any others posted here.

 

I wonder if a sudden flurry of messages to the seller saying that we are forwarding their information to the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI, and Homeland Security would make them pull their auctions...

I know they'll never actually get in trouble for doing this crap, but I wish they would.

 

I'll jump in and report it. Just goes to show that one needs to be very careful and read the entire post of the coins that are listed through e-bay. Maybe I'll go as far as buy the recent post for $9.99 so that I have the proof in my hands and then report it to the FBI. What do you guys think?

 

I've reported this too, after I stopped laughing on how the shipping instructions would be handled: Shipping: may up to 23 days or less. we seldom on ebay as this is our new platform to try our luck in coin selling online. we will back to ebay 2 or 3 days once to check and reply to all inbox. If you have any question, pls inbox to us. We spend long hours in our store and your coin will be packed and shipped 3 to 4 days after payment is confirmed. We will off for coming holidays from Dec 22nd till 28. ( One Week Off) All order will be shipped before or after the date. OR your coin will be carry together to our holiday trip and ship from the local shipping company. Again, take note that you will receive the coin in between 23 days + holiday.

 

I don't think these are of Chinese origin, they are actually too crude for what the Chinese are pumping out now. I would think Central America based on fakes with similar quality and appearance of Hispanic coins I've seen.

 

I didn't know that there was a big south of the border counterfeiting problem. After reading above, I found this: http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/add014.html

Imagine, fake SBAs and Sacagawea $s!

 

There isn't a way to report a post on the EBay app, as far as I can tell. So, I'm going to jump on the laptop and report it.

The fact one can't do it with the app speaks loudly about how interested EBay is with this issue.

 

Yeah, gotta report stuff like this whether it does any good or not.

 

Seems like a lot of effort for $10.00

 

Get a few thousand of those $10 and we are talking about money!
