Newest PCGS fakes from China.

eBay is not the problem, but fraudulent sellers are. Just do your homework and check the seller’s previous auctions and feedback. See what they’re usually selling, check if they are professional dealers, etc... you are insured when paying via PP, so what’s the matter?

Also, check the sellers location........if it's in Gang Dong or some other such location on Mainland China, walk away.

 

If seller is holding coin in question with chopsticks in the photos, also walk away!

 

I'll disagree. There are fradulent sellers whenever things of high value are being sold. Simply limiting criteria to frequent sellers of coins may not be effective. It's Ebays and other auction sites responsibility to provide a platform which provides some security. I guess this is a function of costs vs the # of people selling coins on Ebay. I think Ebays profits from coins may be high end to justify more $ put into scrutiny.

I believe other sites offer a better return for coins vs price vs the % of dealing with counterfeit/misrepresented/ etc. However Great Collections not not deal with non-US coins almost at all except in a very general sense. I can 't use it for non-US at all.
