[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1652713, member: 75105"]I will tell you the true reason why eBay nixed the selling of fakes, even with a copy stamp. I have a couple key date Morgan dollars that I ordered from China. Granted, the weight is way off, and I have them in holders marked "copy", the coins themselves are not stamped copy. I often show these to people, and have them "guess the fake". Well it's an easy guess if one is stamped copy! Anyway, I looked at the offerings from the suppliers. While mine were just silver plated brass, they could make them out of coin silver. Then it's a little harder to tell since the weight is dead on. The problem was that although many listings had a coin that was stamped "COPY", on eBay, the supplier would often ship ones that were not. Thus eBay made it so no fakes could be sold. Many Chinese suppliers violated the hobby protection act.[/QUOTE]
