When you are talking about looking at a picture, it may very well be impossible. The dies that these coins are made from are laser cut and scanned from genuine US coins, so all the die markers and minor variations are on the copy coin. The best ones are also 90% silver and come in at the correct weight. While due diligence is always highly recommended, I am not buying the bit that all you need to do is your homework.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now selling replica coins in the US without a copy stamp on them is ILLEGAL. When you purchase these replicas from Ebay, the picture shows the coin with the copy stamp on it, but the coins you recieve do no have the stamp, so that transaction was ILLEGAL. As a US buisness, EBAY has the responsibility to make sure that ILLEGAL activities are not facilitated by their corporation.
