<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EdThelorax, post: 3277113, member: 99854&quot;]Education is the ultimate answer.&nbsp; It is up to a buyer to know what they are buying,&nbsp; I LOVE buying coins on ebay.&nbsp; The counterfeits are a spectrum of deceit.&nbsp; It is illegal to make or distribute a copy of a legitimate US coin without the word &quot;COPY&quot; on it. I chose this listing as an example of how ebay&nbsp;&nbsp; is breaking the law by allowing this to remain after reporting. </p><p>I find an average of about 10 counterfeits a week, I do spend a few hours looking&nbsp; for them. Some sellers think it is OK if they disclose it as a reproduction. It is not. Some sellers try everything to get someone to pay full price and not know it is fake. </p><p>The fact that a seller is allowed to continue after 3 violations is unacceptable.</p><p>That alone would slow the fraud a lot. </p><p>Discussion of counterfeits with pictures would help build a record of fakes.</p><p>I want to learn more about how to detect them.&nbsp; I know I am not the only one. </p><p>I would be happy to see some questionable coins and an evaluation from someone with more experience than I have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
