http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3955437081&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT thought is from china...price isnt bad for all that silver if they're all authentic...I asked the seller and he said "this coins have been in my family for years" anyway...your thoughts? hehe if the seller wasnt from China probably I wouldn't started these thread...we already had a chinese seller with 50 "authentic" Trade Dollars for $100 bucks! (NOTHING against the fellow chinese people! )...so any comments on these? Thanks, Ivan Edit: oh, and by seeing his other auctions he's no coin seller at all...
well, the previous auction has a lot of world coins and a few US Im interested...however after examining this other auction of his... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11978&item=3955185095&rd=1 ...you can even see a 1804 DOLLAR!!!! hehe...anyway, since I don't know much/anything about world coins I can say for sure they are all counterfeit (or whatever hehe - refering to my previous post)...but this 2 auction seems like another scam... I really wanted to trust this guys!!! but is not easy!!!
There's a 95% probability these are counterfeit coins given the frequency of such fakes coming from China. It's certainly hard to tell from the pictures as they appear in the description. HOWEVER (big HOWEVER), I downloaded and enlarged the second picture down, the one with the silver dollars or whatever (I'm a Morgan fan). While most of the dates are just too obscure to make out, the 1798 and 1800 Draped Bust US dollars came through. I find it highly doubtful that these very scarce coins in such good condition could be authentic; they also would be worth thousands each. On one of the Morgans, I couldn't even see that there was a date on the coin; it looked like it was omitted. If it were me, I'd keep far, far away from this auction.
yeah, I know what you mean...I came across this because I usually enjoy watching lots on eBay...lately Ive seen some chinese stuff like these...just don't wanted to think that EVERY coin sold from china is counterfeit.........but oh well...
BTW, I duly reported both auctions to eBay. I also emailed the current high bidder to caution him about the coins. He has two other current coin auctions, but I'm not qualified to pass judgement on either although I suspect they are also fake. This is the first time I've ever contacted a bidder before an auction has ended. I took a chance and gave him my email address in the hopes he will respond. I just hope he doesn't flame me.
Thanks for report them, this guys have to be stopped...as you been flamed by the higher bidder...well you're saving him a headache! so he should be thankful to you.
lol haha yeah, I just didn't wanted to think..."hey this guy is from china so...LIAR!!!!" lol...also after reading SO MANY stories on eBay...I have to believe to think that SOME might be true...obviously this wasn't the case
Well, whaddyaknow. EBay has yanked both auctions. Now if we could only get eBay to take action on Looks All Good To Me.
