    Here's one ebay item number. Every single coin he has is a Chinese knockoff.

    Those are really bad fakes, I almost don't feel bad for anyone that actually bids on them.

    His description is awfully written which is another possible sign that he is a hack.

    I tried to do my part by reporting the two 1806 halves and the Seated quarter, because they seemed the most dangerous in terms of fooling someone. Ironically, as terrible as they are, the half dimes have the most bids. One is even up to about $150. Unbelieveable.

    I love the fact that his "parents" actually have duplicates of these rare coins and he's only selling the extras. One of the listings has 17 bids...<<shakes head>>

    More have been added . . . also reported. Let's not give up on eBay . . . they need to see numbers on this parasite.

    Come on guys and gals! This guy has $10k or more in counterfeit coins that he's trying to put out on the open market. We have to do our part!

    When you open the link scroll down 3/4 of the way and on the right side it says, "REPORT ITEM." Then select "Copyright/trademark infringement," then "Counterfeit/Replica." Then simply submit. It takes 10 seconds.

    Check out the date on his 1933 Walking Liberty Half. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1933-Walkin...43?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item339a3f5f5f

    Is there a way to do it on the app?

    Unfortunately, no. You have to log into the full site.

    Reported.

    "shipping is from outside of the US, even though he says item location is in Bellvue, WA."

    That has to be against some sort of eBay policy, doesn't it?

    Also, could law enforcement be brought into it if it is international?

    I've now reported all 19 ... Note that the seller has mixed some relatively common dates with major rarities; this, likely to foster an air of credibility.

    Cut him some slack... do you know better how to turn a 42 into a 33...? ;-)

    Ha! Yeah but actually the whole coin is a base metal fake... not an altered date.

    I thought so after looking at it again... but then they really did a terrible job - that date is a joke!
