Gobrecht Dollars, real or fake?

Think it doesn't have that limit for 99 cent auctions... only BIN.

I know. I am guessing the seller was unsure and would rather include a junk certified coin than risk having a bidding cap of $2500 on a $10000 coin.

 

that was my first thought. I don't know enough about these coins to conclusively condemn them as fakes, or to conclusively condemn the seller as a fraud, but there's enough evidence there to let me make the decision to stay away.

 

Fake junk.

 

Fake there is a reason that they want 6k nothing is free like that

 

and it looks to me like something has been "photoshopped" out of the left obverse field

 

someone paid $5,655.00 without it being certified PCGS or NGC. crazy

 

I ran it past eBay as well- no violations as listed. As previously stated here I also cannot find anything wrong to call either a fake, and I am aware of several struck fakes of this variety, but none of the distinguishing marks match. I also am very skeptical of this seller and his sudden rise to selling expensive/important raw coins; I guess we will see after the listings end and the feedbacks come in...

 

Third feedback as a seller is a negative...

 

I saw that TypeCoin; unfortunately that is exactly what I suspected...
If you look at the other two coins "sold", it is the same buyer and he bid on 60% of this seller's listings and won both at the last second.

 

Hmmmm.... shill?

 

My example:

 

I love these coins. Very clean obverse, with the awesome eagle on the reverse.
I have a medal which is part of a set which honors great coin designers. It weighs in at a whopping 7oz. .999 silver. Hope it's ok to post it here.

 

This is a struck counterfeit, right?

 

I'm going to say yes. Plus look at the rim in the inset.
