eBayer not taking fake down . . .

I got the same, multiple times. Those new images are beyond doubt.

Listing says sold. $178.50 & shipping

 

Thanks for posting those images here.
That is a series I’m not extremely familiar with. The detail on the obverse does look pretty soft, but for such a small coin with some wear I think some softness might be normal?
I know you know your stuff so I definitely trust your judgement!

Just did some comparison on CoinFacts. All three examples shown for 1865 show six horizontal lines versus the four on the eBay example. Another glaring difference in comparison is the detail in the kernels(?) of the wheat on the reverse. Fake has a very “dotty” appearance while the genuine examples have an overall more natural look.
I’m sure there are many more differences that can be pointed out but those are the few that stood out to me…I didn’t even compare the letters or numbers.

 

I made an offer on the 1842 but he ended that one as well...

 

eBay removed both listings; my $10 bid went for naught...

 

Really laughable ob better pics. Absolutely right on the shield. The surface glared fake too

 

$5 more than I’d have paid.

 

Seller just listed this- what say you?

The coin is listed at 2 to 3X it's value. I don't know if it's real from the small images.

 

Seller must think it's >MS63. Images too small and blurry to decide anything.

 

First glance, VF/XF with some circ cameo. It's likely a nice coin at $100 or $125. $400 is ambitious.

 

From pictures can’t tell much of nothing. What criteria makes you think it’s fake. What is your background, expertise in US Coin grading? What do you have beyond the shadow of doubt to back up your claim it’s fake?

 

Previously trying to sell two fakes and denying they're fake to multiple people raises suspicions. Crappy images don't help their case. Nobody is claiming the most recent one is fake, so far.

 

Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me

 

If there going to fakes the should at least make good ones...LOL
as far as ebay taking anything down we all know the answer to that one..$$$$

 

Staple guy is back with this one; now in my wheel house...

Now says listing ended by seller.

 

Most members participating in this thread have a history of excellent posts, showing that that they actually know a thing or two about US coins. What is your background?

 

I am not the one calling something fake lol.
