1909-S VDB "made in China"

I wonder if anybody will be naive enough to take a chance on getting a genuine 1909-S VDB from the Chinese. The only thing dumber than buying "genuine" U.S. coins from China is sending money to a "penpal" in Nigeria.

Wow....that one is bad......and has been reported to ebay.

 

Gopher29,don't forget that there's a lot of eBay scams that also originate in Indonesia as well.Corruption is a huge problem there,but Zimbabwe isn't far behind with their 2,000,000% inflation & rising.

Too bad the coin isn't larger, it may make a nice coaster for your drink.

 

do you actually get a response from ebay when you report?

 

Reading material for the uninitiated:

www.419eater.com - not that I would know anything about this.

 

When his first words of discription are "I could refund you" then that should send up a red flag saying RIPOFF. I twould be a joke if it weren't for the bidders out there that do fall for these "bargain" fakes.

 

Almost 3 hours to go and still hasnt been removed yet. I reported it to Ebay also.

 

Reported it...

 

Look at another lot of "coins" he sold to a bidder who probably had no idea what they were buying. He calls them "beautiful brass coins". Its listed in his "feedback" area. Its the first item he sold. haha...they're video game tokens for the most part..lol....junk!! item#270113086847. The pic is too big to upload here.

 

that ebay guy might have relatives in china and might be a little reluctant!

grizz

 

I just reported it also.

 

You just get an automated email response thanking you for reporting the item and telling you that ebay will look into it.

I just hope some new collector doesn't get taken by this scam.

 

They finally did remove it. I missed being able to see it.

 

just checked and its off now

 

aha...good thing nobody got ripped off--this time.

 

Does anyone remember the Saturday Night Live sketch for "Bad Idea" jeans? It had a long list of gems.

 

Good! That saved somebody from being ripped off big time. I think there should be a "no tolerance" policy at Ebay. If you're reported once for listing counterfeit coins or currency then you should be totally banned from selling there again. Of course, this is only my opinion.

 

I don't think that would be good...what if someone just didn't know? IMO it should be that if you've listed 3 or more counterfeits than you should be banned.
