<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 429081, member: 7638&quot;]you can use the &#039;report this item&#039; link at the bottom, there is a &#039;you suspect a listing is fraudulent, you didn&#039;t bid&#039; on the menu. You can also report to the CCW, which supposedly uses some people with numismatic expertise to judge if the item is fake or not. Sometimes they are on the ball, sometimes they simply seem to be... not there. I suspect this is a very underfunded aspect of eBay window dressing to make it look as if they are actually doing something proactive. Use this link to the CCW: <a href="http://www.ebay.com/ccw" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/ccw" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/ccw</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I have spoken to people who have actually taken fakes to the Secret Service, and they basically are not interested in fake vintage/antique coins. They won&#039;t pursue those cases. </p><p><br /></p><p>While there are a handful of honest sellers from China and SE Asia in eBay numismatics, they are dwarfed by the number of scammers and forgers. We&#039;ve seen the quality of the fakes getting better and better, now they can fake PCGS and NCS slabs pretty well, when they get cracking with EMD forgery equipment they will manufacture fakes that will require a microscope and skill to detect. My personal opinion is that numimatic sales from China should be ended right now. BTW, my p.m. is turned back on, and if anyone is interested in the Coin Forgery eBay group, please drop me a line.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
