    I reported them. I also reported some SGS coins for violating the new rules on slabbed coins, but I'm not holding my breath or anything.

    Certainly nothing personal. I've seen a lot of scams out of the Northeast compared to other parts of the country...have no idea why.

    I just submitted a post for a 1798 dollar I was considering buying
    after reading all the posts and seeing pix you've all sent,I was wondering
    what is telling you that the coins were not real? I cant see it ,it makes me wonder
    about the other coins I bought on e-bay.
    Then again I don't consider a bust dollar to often,maby I'll go to a coin show instead.

    There's several things, like with the coin you asked about in the other thread, the bust being too close to the right side of the coin is what I noticed right off. Then the Y is too close to the star. There are only 12 stars on the coin you posted when there should be either 13 or 15. Now all of that is just on the obverse and there is more I didn't mention. But the reverse, that one is a joke - it's the wrong design entirely.
