I cant see the pictures well enough to determine anything, not that I'm even good enough to spot fakes. But the fact that the label is covered up with paper AND he said it has not been authenticated, leaves room for suspicion. So whose gonna bid on it? lol Massive silver coins and more lot!
The listing says 1891 cc, so get it. Authenticate it yourself, If it isn't real, send it back as not as described. The listing would have to say it is fake for you to get stuck with it. Pay pal covers a multitude of sins.
That's toeing a gray line there, he dosent say its real, but he also dosent say its fake. In fact hes leading more towards its fake lol
The seller should weigh it. A fake wouldn't weigh correctly, then it can be sold with a higher starting price.
There's no guarantee of that. This is the same seller who's offering a polished 1925 Peace Dollar as a "Proof."
I guess if you got it and it ended up being an 1891 with putty cc, it would still be worth $25 after you scraped the putty off!
Doesn't matter, he's still out of luck. Selling fakes, even fakes marked COPY, violates eBay policy. Get it, determine that it's fake, and he'll be forced to refund you in full. Your only risk is that they may make you send back the whole lot (at his expense).
Up to $80, im guessing it will go around 100 at the end. Soooo.... who wants to go into business? lol
I've never seen a mintmark made of putty, but that mintmark doesn't look legit, and I've heard of puttied coins.
