[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 727215, member: 19765"]As far as who told me, nobody told me but my opinion and my email to the seller and his response. Below is the listing of the known fake, top link. If you look at the link below that, to me they look very much the same, sure the bottom link is a better taken pic. Please don’t mis-understand, I am not saying it’s the exact same coin he sold to me. What I am saying is that I think the guy has a stash of 1913 type 1 buffalo nickels and is unloading them one by one. He doesn't have very bad feedback or anything like that and that's part of the reason I took the fake I rec'd to the coin store to have it verified. Take a look at Liberty on the obverse, it shows a very weak strike, looks same to me as the coin I bought, just a little better pic. On the reverse is the word Pluribus which was too close together on my fake and appears to be too close together on the bottom link. If you look at the area on either link, under the buffalos torso between all 4 legs, looks fake to me. To me it’s a different pic of the same type of counterfeit coin. The seller has sold a lot of coins and I’ve looked at all his stuff he currently has for sale and to me, the only fake looks to be the 1913 type 1 buffalo nickel. That's just my opinion after dealing with him and receiving a verified fake. adios [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160373609074&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp3907.m38.l1313%26_nkw%3D160373609074%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1[/url] [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/1913-TYPE-1-BUFFALO-NICKEL-TOUGH-DATE-HIGH-GRADE_W0QQitemZ160373609074QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item2557031272[/url][/QUOTE]
