Good advice, thanks.
Please take a look at the following coin. It is being marketed completely honestly, and has already been denounced a counterfeit by PCGS....
I agree. The odd thing is when someone not particularly educated in the type of coins is willing to roll that kind of dough. Definitely a rookie...
It's a shame that scam auctions like this occasionally sell for this kind of money.
Austrian 2 heller, I wonder how it got to NY.
Thanks guys. rdwarrior: I've had a bunch of the little ones modeled after German Empire and German States coins. Some of the ones from the 1870's...

Yes I can't think of a single collector that was knowledgeable in coins BEFORE they started spending money on them. I'm sure there are a few out...
Well, what condition are the coins in? You may not necessarily have been ripped off, all depends on how they look.
Good deal for a buck, this one's from the Bishopric of Sitten.
Nice broad-struck, capped nickel! These should do real well. =)
It is possible something like this was done by a mint employee, as gboulton asked about. It's also very highly unlikely with the US mint's strict...
Probably doesn't. =) But either one can be enough to make dealers not want to risk personally delivering expensive items internationally.
Not just you, lol.
