[QUOTE="RBBDoughty, post: 2072386, member: 73447"]It appears that these fakes are being sold to legitimate dealers who list them on eBay, too. I'm starting to wonder if eBay will lose its credibility or if people will continue to spend thousands of dollars on fake IHCs each day. Selling counterfeit rare coins on the internet seems to me to be a serious issue. As in a federal offense.
