This listing just came up: 1971 Eisenhower Dollar $1 Circulated US Coin Uncertified I looked at the thumbnail and thought, "oh, great, another modern Chinese fake". Then I realized I was looking at a clad Ike, not even MS. Sure, they'll fake anything, but at this point I think I'm just seeing fakes even where they aren't. Or am I?
That is definitely a suspicious obverse, not as much the reverse but still fishy. And $25? I'd sell a real one in that condition for $1.75 at most.
The sellers last feedback was from over a year ago, and they have 3 ridiculous listings. I'm thinking Chinese fake and a recently hijacked account
They don't have to be Chinese to have ridiculous listings. A few months ago one seller had 5 off the chain listings. One was a clad beat up Washington quarter for sale for $2500. It's hard to know if those sellers are mentally challenged or just trolling.
Oh, wow, I didn't even look at his other listings! Is that a counterfeit 1984-P quarter? Or has he just mastered the art of photographing real coins to make them look like fakes?
