[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2296281, member: 20480"]This sure looks like offshore marketing of fake US coinage through eBay . . . [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/1870-S-Seated-One-Dime-IMC1125002-/111850830599?hash=item1a0ad43b07:g:EB4AAOSw~otWcD2I[/url] and [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/1864-S-Liberty-Seated-Half-Dime-IMC1128778-/111850825703?hash=item1a0ad427e7:g:ezcAAOSwZ1lWcDoe[/url] These obviously counterfeit coins, listed for at least the second time in the past few weeks, appear to be offered by a seller in Florida. What I find more interesting is the fact that the coins will be shipped from outside the US. My guess is that they will originate in China. Is this an attempt to lure in those buyers who rely only upon the location of the seller to determine whether they are likely to be real or not? Probably. I have reported these 2 items via the eBay-provided link, to no avail thus far . . . Speaking for more than just myself, I also spoke with eBay over the phone, letting them know that the coin collecting community at large feels that eBay is unacceptably facilitating the expansion of the counterfeit marketplace. Would any other CT members be interested in increasing the number of reports to eBay to get their attention? - Mike[/QUOTE]
