[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 1851697, member: 8797"]I'm bidding on some coins in a local auction. I notice a raw trade dollar and it looks off. Pulling up comparison photos you can see its a bad fake. now, I buy coins from this auction house all the time, and this is the first time I've noticed a fake. I like buying from these guys. I know it is illegal to sell a counterfeit as if it was real, and that is what is being done here. They know little about coins so I decided to save them possible legal issues and tell them about it since there is still a week left in the auction.

Being illegal to sell a counterfeit as real, the auctioneer has no leg to stand on. though it may appear I want to help out the auction house, I contend that I only want to see that discouragement of selling coins is kept to a minimum so I can continue to buy coins from them. ;) I called them up to let them know. Still a week left in the auction, they could pull that listing and retitle/describe the counterfeit properly. All they said was that I should contact the consignor and gave me his number. I don't really want to pursue it any farther.[/QUOTE]
