[Nutmeg Coin]

The same guy with limited selling feedback has two blatantly fake coins in fake PCGS holders on ebay.

Let's hope they don't stay on too long.

What, you don't think that is this coin that sold in 2010, just now in much worse shape? Ha!!

Will the real counterfeit please stand up!

1916-D $5,551.00 [ 37 bids ]

 

Surely there are not that many people actually bidding this coin up like that?

 

They must just have some shill bidders trying to bid it up to make it look legit.

Don't some of the folks ATS bid up fakes to confound/confuse the sellers?

[wdrob]

Maybe that is it.

 

I noticed the seller has Local Pickup Only. Hahahaha!

 

I guess they feel if someone is willing to shell out over $6k for a counterfeit dime they stand a good chance of rolling them while they are there.

Can I ask how you identified the coin AND the holder as fakes

[wdrob]

 

Look closely to the label. The $1 location, the font, the barcode on the above comparison.

 

Look at the placement of the 'D' mint mark on the fake (first one) and the real one.

1916-D

looks like it has been bought and sold since 2011 .... or at least on the radar of those that find fakes.

Reported both with detailed information as to why they are fake. What more does Ebay need? Both are unquestionably fake, no debate, not a leg to stand on.

I had reported them earlier and am confident that Ebay will take action. But sometimes they are quick and other times, not.

Have any of these guys ever been caught and prosecuted for this? I mean, this is a little beyond "coin doctoring."

[Nutmeg Coin]

It looks like they pulled the bogus listings.

They ought to be run down. They're on the Internet, it's not like they're under the radar. PCGS should be on top of that.
