[QUOTE="1934 Wreath Crown, post: 2520502, member: 76965"]I'm assuming you did not buy them yet and are seeking advice if they are Authentic or Fake. I have personally bid on several coins which turned out to be fake. I'm very happy to say that eBay have decided to take a very harsh stance when it comes to fakes. I was asked on 4 occasions to keep the item but was given a full refund via Paypal when the seller either refused to take the goods/coins back or pleaded ignorance about their authenticity. In one case it was a pair of gold and diamond earrings but the seller also said they were from a very well known designer. The fake earrings were worth $$$ on their own without the designer's stamp/signature. So maybe we should change our strategy: Buy the fake, open case, post a very clear NEGATIVE feedback with explanations, offer to return the item for full refund INCLUDING ALL POSTAGE, post photos to eBay customer services, eBay settles in your favour, cheat-dealer is stung for fake item plus postage. How many times will a cheat be able to afford such losses and negative feedback??? Just my 2 pennies worth.[/QUOTE]
