<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 215714, member: 4626&quot;]I did send a friendly message to the seller, giving him the benefit of the douby that he may be the victim of fraud rather than the perpetrator of it.&nbsp; Just let him know that Carson City didn&#039;t mint any silver dollars in 1887, and thus the coin he&#039;s selling can&#039;t possibly be real.&nbsp; Also reported it to eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Um, another problem coin that this person is selling is an 1844 CC seated liberty dollar.&nbsp; Anyone know why that one can&#039;t be real?</p><p><br /></p><p>Hint: The Carson City mint did not even <b><i>exist</i></b> until 1870!&nbsp; Reported that one too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only problem is I can only report the item as counterfeit to eBay; I can&#039;t leave any commentary, so I have to hope that whoever reads my report knows enough about coins to realize that 1844 CC and 1887 CC dollars do not exist, and thus can not possibly be real.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have serious doubts about the authenticity of anything else he&#039;s selling too, but I&#039;m not that good at figuring out whether a coin is fake or not.&nbsp; These two are obvious though; I can determine that they&#039;re fake without even having to look at them, because they&#039;re fakes of coins that never really existed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
