Easy for someone to say "location: California" then simply ship it from China, or wherever else in the world. And they do this. Bought a key date type coin once, said New York, package actually started somewhere overseas have no idea where, arrived to some location in New York, re-labeled and sent to me through post office. It arrived. Coin was slabbed by NGC, and everything was legit with it, just not honest about location.

I've been watching a listing on Ebay for a nice looking 1885 V nickel priced at $40.46 or best offer. All the things you described are present including the fact that they have already sold 26 and there are two available. The seller is in China. My dad always said that if it sounds too good to be true, then it almost certainly is not true. I intuitively knew this was a fake, which is why I never bid on it. Your posting was spot on. Thank you.

[@iamgabriel5823]

Another thing to beware of is if the seller has lots of revised feedback. Revised feedback only means that the seller is eliminating negative feedback. I don't know how or why Ebay allows them to revise so much feedback. Ebay didn't used to do this. I don't know why they think it's okay now.

I've reported the same seller 3x on eBay, in the last year. They have 2 accounts on both the east coast and the west coast. The same picture was put up with the same coin. A Semiquincentennial Commemorative half dollar (250th anniversary). The coin was 2x the size and 2x the weight. eBay says that it meets their criteria so there's nothing they can do.. It took me awhile to get a refund, so now there are a small handful of stores I purchase from on eBay... I got burnt and didn't do my homework.. I do now !! Great topic Daniel.

It is so frustrating when shopping on eBay and fake coins pop up. Often, they are the top listing, and so obviously fake, $10 under spot for a coin that should sell for $100. There is no way that eBay doesn't already know it is a scam seller, but they take their money, and buyer beware. I first started buying coins on eBay and still think they have an excellent platform. I recently made a couple of purchases from Great Collections, but unlike eBay, you just don't know what your final price will be. I wish I could just shop at LCS, but that is not the case. I find myself thinking it might be time to exit and find a new hobby. 😢 The problem is I like gold and silver, and I just have to deal with the scum that's out there. On the other hand, I've met some really nice sellers on eBay as well.

Almost made this mistake with a 1890 CC Morgan dollar. I bid on one because it seemed cheap. I didn’t check the seller info until after I bid on the coin. That’s when I discovered the seller was new (only been on eBay since June 2024) and they only had a few sold items none of which were coins. The biggest red flag though was they were from Indonesia. Thankfully I got out of that situation when someone outbid me. I will not make that mistake again.

Next problem lies in who calls you back. Some are top notch, and others will blow u off. Good luck.
