E-bay Coins Look Fake To Me

What I see here is perfectly normal for fakes. If I were to decide to go into the fake making business I could buy a $1000 original and use it to make make copies that might fool 90% of the people or I could buy a $10 Slavei and fool 80% of the fools out there. Do the math. Peter Rosa made fakes from Becker originals. Paduans of Renaissance masters were 'aftercast' for centuries and still may be in production somewhere. I suspect stealing designs from Slavey is considered quite normal in some circles so we should not be surprised to see 'aftercasts' of his as well. I do know that the Slavey's I bought for $4 each 20 years ago are being sold openly as what they are for at least 5 times the price which is a better rate of return than my real stuff.

My understanding is that some of Slavey's dies went missing and were used to continue to strike to fool people (artificially toned, worn, damaged, etc. Slavey always sold his uncirculated). There are also many new ones which are obviously inspired by Slavey. In 100 years I am sure they will be much more collectible than they are now.
