    gotta love their guarantee.

    contingent on them agreeing:

    "If for any reason you consider the item to be not as described and we agree with you then we offer a money back guarantee."

    They can say whatever they want it won’t make a difference. eBay policy overrules listings always

    True but it's the way they word it. If they agree they "will offer" is so erroneous. The wording alone spells Trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with p, sorry, I do that all the time.

    It’s hard to believe they even wrote that.

    And someone was foolish enough to bid! One glance at 'Liberty' should tell you something.

    They're about $1.50/free shipping from Aliexpress. How many do you want? ONLY 999 left.

    My main problem is the listing itself. The seller doesn't even attempt to assign a grade. Am I buying an AU-50 coin, or does it grade MS-60, MS-65, or somewhere in between? I'd rather not play Russian roulette with my money...

    Brand new fake. Noticce it has au/xf details yet it’s supposedly uncirculated. And it’s not a coin known for soft strikes like some of the earlier New Orleans stuff. Should say made in China in the motto on the reverse

    The listing doesn't say anything about the coin being uncirculated... it just says "top grade." Also, the coin is not an O mint... it's an S.

    It. Is. A. FAKE!!!! "S" is supposed to mean it was made in San Francisco, not Shanghai!

    Yeah I know. It looks uncirculated cause it’s fake. 1880s San Francisco coins are known for being well struck. 1840s and 1850s o mint seated coins are known for weak strikes. That’s what I’m saying
