    Sadly eBay only hopes he makes these sales so they can get their cut.
    Another fool ruining the coin collecting hobby.

    I enjoyed the AI generated BS (nobody selling this garbage is articulate enough to have written that themselves).

    "Crafted during a period of historic currency, this 1911 $5 Gold Indian Head Coin emanates the grandeur of pre-1933 American numismatics. Struck at the Denver Mint, this piece is composed of unadulterated gold, exuding an undeniable allure that is as enticing to collectors today as it was to those who first held it in their hands.

    The coin proudly stands as an emblem of its era, with an Indian Head motif that captures the spirit of the time. Though it remains uncertified and ungraded, its uncirculated status preserves its authenticity and allows one to own a tangible slice of history. This coin is a testament to the rich legacy of United States minting."

    I reported it under Item not allowed / Replica coins and currency, "COPY is stamped right on the coin. Replica coins are a violation of ebay policy. "

    But it’s made of “unadulterated gold!” It might be plated with 24k gold, but that’s only skin deep.

    Yea, if it’s stamped “COPY” that’s bad, but if it’s an unmarked counterfeit, that’s consistent with eBay’s policies. :mad:

    "Thanks again for reporting the listing(s) you found.

    What happened:
    We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made by a customer service agent."

    This situation is nuts. An actual customer service agent apparently looked at this one. What part of COPY do they not comprehend, and why do they even have a "policy." We need a class action lawsuit and some lawyers will clean up.

    Like I said before, the eBay AI is mentally challenged. The truth is all eBay cares about is collecting money. The fact that that money is earned from the sale of counterfeits is irrelevant.

    The "customer service agent" is mentally challenged as well.

    The "customer service agent" is probably AI as well.

    Are there people with money out there who are that ignorant to pay for any of it, even with free shipping? The ad should read: "Circulated pocket change", because that's all it is.

    We need to bring back that late 70's early 80's motto: "No Bozos".

    From the internet:

    Those who post ebay auctions for such coins should be added to the list of "No Bozos".
