    Unfortunately the Franklin sold; I reported the Kennedy.

    Reported, and then determined to not be in violation.

    Hm. Par for the course, on eBay these days. That's been the outcome of the last seven reports I've made. It's starting to make me wonder why I even bother.

    You could have a full time job on eBay working for the US Treasury having fakes removed. It's not only disgusting, it's an insult to most people's intelligence. Selling silver under spot, in a key date screams fraud. And yet, eBay's bots claim no harm, no foul. :muted:

    I've given up. Unless you know people higher up at eBay, it's on deaf ears. I'm not even talking about passable fakes, I'm talking about in your face fakes.

    It's a numbers game. Enough people have to report it before a human looks at the case.

    Here's a typical junker listing. 1895 Morgan. $18.99. More than 10 available. 12 sold. Sick.

    It is obvious to us, but those 12 that bought these probably think they are getting an authentic Morgan dollar.
    And it is an 1895 S!

    Check out this lot I saw today:

    More fakes, and these come direct from Hong Kong.
