<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2668320, member: 76086&quot;]So, I dont go on Ebay very often.&nbsp; Just once and again to see out of curiosity.&nbsp; Ebay seems worse that it ever was, with a huge number of outright fakes (many questionable).&nbsp; A couple are below:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]593528[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting.&nbsp; What else can one say?&nbsp; Ignorance or artistic license?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]593529[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess some have seen Zach&#039;s (debatable) coin and decided it was worth a shot!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]593530[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This one is more deceptive.&nbsp; Seems fairly genuine at a quick glance, but their mistake is that is should be electrum and not silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could go on, but I do wonder about all this.&nbsp; Most the fakes seem to come from Spain these days.&nbsp; Most are not very good but many would easily fool a novice.&nbsp; And I wonder, someone has to carve the dies, prepare flans, then strike them, then hopefully avoid detection.&nbsp; Doesnt seem like a worthwhile enterprise, but then again if they are selling hundreds or even thousands on Ebay over time, the money does add up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
