Watch out for this fake 1918/7 Buffalo

I noticed this overdate on eBay this morning and it isn't even a good fake.

Wow, & his write up is hilarious! And he almost made it a "2 feather" while he was at it!

He does have 9 feedbacks "already", but they are all as a buyer!

 

Bad image, but even so you can tell the "overdate" is laughable.

 

Yeah, the 18 looks like it's falling over, the bottom loop of the 8 is skinny and the top of the 7 is below the top of the 8, among other things. Obviously the blurred images are intentional. I also like the buy it now price. If it were a legit 18/7 D an example in this condition would be worth many tens of thousands of dollars. I'm going to be curious if someone gets eBay to have him pull this fake. Also, I'm curious to see if someone actually bids on it.

 

Wow. That is really bad. Somebody will buy it though I'm sure.

 

I see there's one bid at $500.

Looks like it was finally taken down this morning. I noticed that there were actually 3 bids at the time. CT is a good forum to alert folks of potential fakes.
