    It's probably someone trying to perfect their "technique" before moving into the big time.

    i wonder if he does the same coins without the word replica on them ?

    Considering they are stamped, I'd say the copies could be bought without being so.
    Interesting way to market himself.
    Some of his copies look fairly convincing.
    *whoosh*
    There went my fleeting glimpse of faith.

    This guy could be as honest as the day is long selling REPLICAS at $10 after shipping. On the other hand he could be making $10 a transaction without sending coins.
    It's unfortunate that I, and many others, think this way.

    China has leapt to ebay (which is already tarnished) and managed to tarnish ebay and itself in a heartbeat. I will NOT buy anything from China for those reasons.

    Just an edit. Yes, I KNOW I buy stuff from China all the time but NOT off of ebay.

    Sometimes the 'guilty before proven innocent' approach scares me you guys. ;)

    How deceptively "good" that coin looks scares me....

    And you have nicely finished off my point.

    I really am glad that you have had good experiences. In no way am I saying all Chinese sellers are bad. I'm sure there are tons of good sellers in China.

    Unfortunately the bad have seriously hurt the reputation. I'm not willing to risk any money on that.


    Darn shame isn't it as I know I'm not alone with this "sick" reasoning.

    Scares me even more Peter. Especially when it's me saying it.
