<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1939258, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;m not confident in my ability to ID fakes from bad photos on arbitrary, unfamiliar issues, so I don&#039;t <i>know</i> whether this guy&#039;s selling other fakes. But here&#039;s one example I&#039;m pretty sure about:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1899-O-BARBER-50C-034-BETTER-DATE-034-Hard-To-Find-3284-/221416149379" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1899-O-BARBER-50C-034-BETTER-DATE-034-Hard-To-Find-3284-/221416149379" rel="nofollow">1899-O BARBER 50C - &quot; BETTER DATE&quot; - Hard To Find - #3284</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]335946[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]335947[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And another:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-Barber-Silver-Half-Very-Fine-VF-Conditionn-toned-with-details-/221414871666" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-Barber-Silver-Half-Very-Fine-VF-Conditionn-toned-with-details-/221414871666" rel="nofollow">1911 Barber Silver Half ~ Very Fine VF Conditionn- toned with details</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]335948[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]335949[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Take a look at his other completed auctions. Note in particular the number of 1875-P twenty-cents he&#039;s been selling (two in April, four so far this month). Isn&#039;t that an odd thing to &quot;specialize&quot; in -- along with &quot;near gem&quot; Stone Mountain halves (12 so far), and various other odds and ends?</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure, maybe I&#039;m paranoid, and he&#039;s come across <i>one</i> fake Barber quarter in his hoard of totally legit 1875-P (not S) 20c pieces, Stone Mountain halves, and so forth. It does seem to stretch the imagination that nobody&#039;s called &quot;fake&quot; yet. But maybe everybody else is assuming &quot;well, his feedback is good, it was an honest mistake, I won&#039;t ding his feedback for this&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
