Doesn‘t look right to me… https://www.ebay.de/itm/15557537400...cDQ38nlRgm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY …maybe I am getting paranoid @Jack D. Young
Look at this one for a comparison: https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/item/1911-b-trade-prid-21/207444/-3901625264705744134 PCGS AU53, same type and grade
It's a link to German eBay (.ebay.de), and EU companies have to follow the GDPR, which among other things requires Web sites to actively request your permission to let them keep track of where you are on the site. Like California's laws about labeling "substances known to cause cancer", the result is a lot of noise that everyone quickly learns to dismiss without reading -- in other words, the opposite of what the legislation is supposed to do. Bottom line: the popup and the German language isn't something to worry about, but the item itself is still bogus.
Us old guys seem to be learning a lot of stuff this weekend. Up until now I couldn't think of one thing I didn't know.
Seller's 1874-CC US Trade$ is bad; matches the fake in a fake PCGS holder... https://www.ebay.de/itm/155546163513?hash=item2437461939:g:qKoAAOSw9Y1kWlod
Note that the "verification" URL is pcgss.shop instead of pcgs.com. And while PCGS does have a Chinese website, it's pcgs.com.cn -- not the phony one listed.
Oh, interesting -- and that page not only steals the PCGS branding, its coin-type and population links point to the real pcgs.com.cn! PCGS might be able to bring down some enforcement on the site hosting the stolen content, but they can probably intercept requests to their own site coming through those links and have fun with them. I wonder if they've been made aware?
It’s like the plague… https://www.ebay.com/itm/404309471170 New seller in Poland RED FLAG :-D @Jack D. Young
There were two listed- both reported and removed. The more you look, the more you will find- trust me...
