<p>[QUOTE="Jeepfreak81, post: 3086892, member: 93888"]Evening all! I was browsing the Bay for some 1892 columbian Expo halves that might catch my eye. Well one did, but not for the right reasons. This thing is either plated or counterfeited I think. The seller is claiming it's "proof like" but I'm not sure they are purposely misrepresenting the item, maybe they really think this is a proof like coin. Looking at the seller's other items they look to just deal in collectibles in general, maybe they don't have much coin knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, do any of you address things like this? Do you message the seller and politely point it out. They item has numerous revisions over the past couple months, so clearly they're having trouble selling it. Not that I think I can single handedly clean up ebay listings, but do any of you address these, or just shake your head and move along.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1893-Columbian-Exposition-Silver-Half-Dollar-Super-Coin/302717728925?hash=item467b61f89d:g:VsAAAOSwtdpa4WWG" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/1893-Columbian-Exposition-Silver-Half-Dollar-Super-Coin/302717728925?hash=item467b61f89d:g:VsAAAOSwtdpa4WWG" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/1893-Columbian-Exposition-Silver-Half-Dollar-Super-Coin/302717728925?hash=item467b61f89d:g:VsAAAOSwtdpa4WWG</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
