I've seen these on Ebay. Misleading? Um, yeah! If it sounds too good to be true........

 

It's the old trick of selling reproductions, except you have to read the fine print to realize they're reproductions. Only someone utterly and completely unversed in ancient coins would fall for it.

 

Their name should be 2Crooks instead of 2Rooks.

 

I'm not sure what you want them to do. the header states:
High Quality Museum Restrike Electrotype Replica
and each lot points out that
"These coins/medals are made of a metal alloy and not a precious metal.
These coins/tokens are made with a white metal alloy, having a base metal of Tin (Sn)"

While I find fakes as repulsive as anyone, it is the job of buyers to read the descriptions and be a little responsible for their own actions. Anyone who believes they are getting an Athenian dekadrachm or an electrum trite for the price listed probably deserves to get what they get. Now when someone buys these replicas and sells them to someone for a bargain price of $5000 representing them as genuine, we have a different situation.

 

I didn't see that on there.

Either I wasn't paying enough attention or they added it later.
