    @Insider did a piece on these being found as fake in a recent Numismatic News. I'm hoping he will be able to do a spot here also.

    A true coiner wouldn't want that fake crap but the problem is a regular Joe who don't know any better may buy it! That's a problem ebay could help to distinguish if they wanted to.

    Magnified images of one of these fakes. There may be other fakes of these coins from different sources that are not like this.

    Look at the holes in the design and the circular machining on the initials probably left when the letters were cut into the die.

    Not a very good fake IMO. Here is my real one for comparison:

    Still scummy trying to scam people.

    Original seller may be honest, but always concerned about the "reseller":D...

    They sleep very well knowing that in the morning they can go to the bank and count the profits from the day before. Who is more gullible and arrogant, they or we! U.S. Customs is in very Dior need of better technology and inspection techniques, we have to start somewhere... In my opinion.

    According to Edward Snowden the branches of the U.S. government are far from being in a dire need of any better technology for 'inspection' or surveillance.

    Did you watch the movie on Snowden? I did. It was quite enlightening.

    If you have the sellers info (which is posted) why not sent a msg to the FBI/US Treasury Secret Service. I am sure they would like to at least have a look at this individual.
