Can anyone else find his mistakes?

Aside from the obvious (they are replicas), I wonder how long it takes someone else to figure what else this seller is doing wrong - liusongcaicoinshop. BTW, if you find some more beside the two type (i.e. series) I have shown, please let me know. That might be enough to get rid of him.

Here are the pictures with his mistakes;

nice did he design them with his crayolas?

 

I am not skilled enough to know, but I am looking foward to the answer.

 

Can you really ship worldwide from China for under two bucks or is he counterfeiting the postage as well?

 

Not from this seller, but I bought 2 from China for $2.00 with free shipping. I got both. Therefore I assume it costs less than $2.00 to send it from China.

 

You needn't be a numismatist to see what he is doing. It may not even help to be a numismatist.

 

I may be misunderstanding the question, but I do not see it. What is he doing wrong?

He clearly states that the coins are not real.

 

"Liberty"?

 

Look closely at the pictures. That is all you need to see.

 

I see the reverses on the first two coins are the same coin.

 

You got one of them. Plus, I think he might have shopped the date onto the obverse. Not so sue about that one

 

The mintmark is a little off on the 1916 half dollar.

 

It is the same mistake on both coins I have pictured AND on his other 12 or so standing Liberty halves.

 

First two - crayola dates and reverse wreath, e pluribus unum looks to low. Now to check the other two.

 

Okay - had to find a picture in the red book. Again crayola type dates, mm's not in right position, eagle looks all wrong, etc. Of course just comparing to my little red book picture.

 

But that is not against the rules for a replica. Yes, it is a crappy replica, but that is good, isn't it?

 

Unfortunately, many of the Chinese (and Bulgarian) counterfeiters show "Copy" or "Replica" on their ebay pictures, but ship coins lacking the mark!

 

I think if I bought a replica that had lettering fall off as I handled it.....I'd want my money back!!! I'm going to help them out by sewing the 'I' back in LIBERTY

 

Oh, and there was no mintmarks on V nickels in 1910.

 

You are closer than you think you are. Look closely at the "COPY" on both coins. For that matter, all of his walking Liberty halves. I am pretty sure the coins have not been stamped. I think he photoshopped the word on his pictures. Everyone of his stamps on these halves changed the color of the coin in a square halo around the word - without altering the details beneath.
