I just feel sorry for the buyer.

Let's just hope that the buyer has enough common sense to realise that if it was the mule, it would by now be in 4 figures and rising.

Indeed. It's actually a nice coin in itself.

This seems a very high price for a load of scrap.

Nothing wrong with them, just in that condition they are effectively scrap silver. Scrap on 200g of 50% silver is less than £40, so £65 for them is steep.

 Hell's bells! Wonders will never cease! 

Although the cynic in me might think that he was worried it might not make mule price....

And the cynic in me wonders if he simply had an offer he felt he couldn’t refuse.........😬

I have reported this same coin 4 times now over a 12 month period on 4 different listing. Fake Gold Double Eagle

Here he is again, same story its his grandpa's coin. I guess the good news is he is paying listing fees each time.

Careful. We have a very respected forum member who is "Dave G". Suggest you find another name for this one to avoid confusion?

I wasn't implying anything by mentioning him. What i meant is it looks like one of his strikes or a coin he's made (Dave G - Grunal Moneta). 

The ebay sellers the crook! (Whita natal)

The problem is, during that period they did use cast blanks alongside properly rolled sheet metal, so not necessarily wrong. Finding a second example with identical features would be useful.

This serial fraudster has improved the quality of his fakes a little.

If he manages to get them all looking different colours he might just succeed in fooling a lot of people. That gun metal blues his trademark. Doesn't look like trading standards have moved on him.....Yet! Hopefully building a case.

Meanwhile his Dad said, "you're 'avin a larf my son"

Grandmother was clearly a realistic, grounded person. Recognising that they were worth peanuts and that nobody in their right mind would buy them, I consider her very astute in giving advice that they should effectively be sold only when all other fund-raising options had failed. Last throw of the dice, so to speak.
