    I doubt if ebay screens any of their listings. All you can do is report the site to ebay. You can also post a link here to the seller's site. I sincerely doubt that any member of Coin Talk would fall for buying a ASE for $9.95.

    Yeah, this is against eBay policy. Yeah, you see how diligently they enforce it. :rolleyes:

    @fretboard. Thanks for the thread. If you look all that the title it says 1oz Silver American Eagle and all the way at the bottom of the listing it says "Material Iron with Silver Plated". I've complained to ebay about similar deceptive listings and it seems our complaints are ignored.

    what bothers me is they recommend that product to me, an illegal item. I reported but I don't know if they will read.
    US MINT
    Is often difficult to distinguish between genuine U.S. coins and replicas. The Hobby Protection Act requires that all imitation coins and other numismatic items be permanently marked with the word “COPY”. Some businesses in China, however, produce unmarked imitations of pre-1950 United States coins and sell them online.

    In the United States, U.S. Code Title 18, Chapter 17, Section 331 prohibits "the mutilation, diminution and falsification of United States coinage." The foregoing statute, however, does not prohibit the mutilation of coins if the mutilated coins are not used fraudulently

    To me, its fraud, its aprox the same diameter, and thickness, I know its not going to fool most hobbiest, but its too deceptive to most anyone who may have interest in a beautiful coin.
