    "Caveat emptor is a neo-Latin phrase that can be translated as "let the buyer beware." This phrase is used in instances when the buyer responsible for due diligence before making a purchase."

    Can't report it this second, but I'll come back and do so later if it isn't already gone.

    Edit: reported.

    I like the grade.
    Fine BU!
    That should be a HUGE clue that the seller is clueless.

    Hard to believe, really...but in today's world nothing is surprising or unbelievable...in this case from a blatantly fraudulent seller to a bunch of ignorant bidder-buyers...but to also include an enabling stage from which to operate.

    I asked him to post a better picture so I could get a better feel for the quality of the "copy" strike below the chin.

    Someone needs to ask the seller a question.

    "If someone wins this are you going to send them a real one or the fake pictured in the auction?"

    Well rather than wait for someone else to do it, I just did. Now let's see if I get an answer.

    Even with the blurry photos you can see it’s a copy.

    I didn't even notice the word copy,if I remember correctly its technically not a violation since the coin is marked.Really the bidders are at fault despite sellers deceptive description but wouldn't surprise me if ebay took it down .

    Not clueless, a fraudster. You have to check the ids of those who rate these people. She only had one, from China. She (her site) should be taken down.

    Maybe Caveat emptor should be under copy.

    This coin is a copy. Please disclose that in the listing or remove the listing. Listing is being reported.

    Reported.

    I have often wondered if a seller like this is the one who got taken originally and is now trying to re-coup losses. Stupid is as stupid does.

    Nope, eBay changed their policy years ago to ban even coins with the COPY stamp. It's not enforced very consistently, but the rule is there.

    There's 6 total bidders who have placed bids multiple times! So these bidders were duped more than once on an obvious fake, beyond obvious! 112.gif Amazing and pathetic! :shifty:
