Mat Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Just a quick warning for you all, I guess most of you that look at dollars on ebay.com will be aware of the fakes out there all over the place, however this is a warning for the UK ebayers that arnt too hot on US coins.There is a current bulk US dollar listing on ebay UK: 260486731676The listing looks legit and the pics look good, even the extra ones the seller sent me. The 101 coins in this condtion would be worth about £2000 or £700 bullion value. How ever the seller has slipped up, there are 1885 trade dollars included in the bulk which is not possible as only 5 were ever minted and are worth $4m each (one sold in 2006)Dont get caught out most UK ebay crawlers will the listing is already on £155.00Mat Quote

Mat Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 Hi Peckris sure...The auction has finished now it sold for £433..... so obviously most people realised they are fake but some poor guy out there thinks he has got a real bargan at £433!http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:ITMat Quote

I only have one Morgan dollar (bought years ago), late 19th century but strongly prooflike, with frosted design and mirror fields (I'm told it's not a proof though, but if someone had told me it was, I'd have believed them!)
