<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 26439079, member: 26302"]Honestly sir, its a great example of why you always need to check out sellers other listings. Most fake sellers give themselves away when looking at all coins they have for sale. Usually they have the same patina. I have seen some fakes look relatively good by themselves, (without being able to see the coin in person), but when you look at their other listings you see all of them look the same, an almost impossible task for real coins. This seller made it easy for you by showing three all together. That, and a couple of design points I won't get into online, and my eye knew they were fake within a fraction of a second. </p><p><br /></p><p>Advice? Spend most of your time looking at good auction sites with authentic coins. The danger of Ebay is with so many fakes your eye becomes desensitized to them. If you cannot see very quickly these are fake then Ebay is not a good venue for you yet sir. No offense, trying to save you from some bad purchases. Every time I venture onto Ebay, (not often anymore), I see mostly fakes or massively overpriced items.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
