the bullet/pellet hole reminds me of .. well, target practice.

Indeed, it is all about what you enjoy, to say the least.

 

You hit a "Vegas Jackpot". The house wins. Everytime.

 

I think that is $20 too much, because it isn't a dollar.

 

Not sure what the question is on this; current listing of same image states “copy coin”…

 

And one of his previous sales:

 

Jack,

The listing didn't originally have that text.
I sent the seller a request to add explicit text that the coin was a fake.

The seller's response was that the price should suffice to identify the coin as a fake:


Apparently the listing as been removed as I've this message in my history now:

 

Either way it's changed now but The Seller changed them and added "COPY"
I made an eBay complaint on Monday on an open auction that did not state "COPY". I assume that was changed or removed.

This is an earlier one of his I believe that does not state "COPY"

note: each link I add it goes to a dead listing page. But you have to scroll through SOLD listings to find them.

 

I would have liked to bid on that 1928-S but you killed the fun.
I want you to go sit in the corner and think about what you've done.

 

eBay just removed his active listing.

 

Yes, that is the listing as it appeared when I made my purchase.
It was called "Dollar Coin".

 

It's only fun until someone gets totally ripped off.
on facebook someone bought a "novelty" 1/10th 1907 St Gaudens "gold" coin.



They thought it was real.
Took it as payment.
Just to find out it's worthless.

we thought it was a chocolate coin just looking at it.

poster spent at least 10 minutes trying to convince us that it was real.
Countering information given to her as inaccurate and wrong.
Until I told her St Gaudens was only ONE Ounce (and told poster to look at the info they were using as support of their coin), gave poster info .....
then I guess poster freaked out ... deleted the thread and disappeared since.

 

As the world turns......badly.

 

So many folks looking for that one dream "find" without the knowledge or experience to know for sure what they “found"...

 

That's a common trait of fake Peace dollars - I bid on two (fake) Peace dollars on eBay - two different dates (1923,1925), low win prices ($16-17) - when I received the coins, they looked strange and failed the neodymium magnet slide test - that D shaped 'O' in 'ONE' was identical on both coins, even though the dates were different.
The coins came in generic green plastic mini-slabs labeled "Double Eagle Assets, USA flag and nondescript hologram + inscription '24.057 grams of pure silver' "
Fortunately, I received a prompt refund, got to keep the fakes and reported the seller to eBay - apparently many buyers did the same, because the seller and his dozens of fakes soon disappeared from that site.

 

What is interesting is that fakes aren't just about rare coins.
They're showing up in junk silver. (1)

1: I used the word 'junk' there because of your signature line.

 

If you can make the fake for less than a dollar, and they can, then even selling them as junk silver for $16 of so, you still make a heck of a profit. 1500% profit.
