    The description states that it is a "collector bullion coin and not Pure silver"
    But the whole thing is quite misleading and confusing. Makes you wonder how many of the bidders have read the description and understood it.

    I have one and it's absolutely perfect in every detail except the missing the legal tender amount.

    If people are bidding up to $27 im guessing they haven't a clue what it really is :/

    Does reporting an item on eBay ever work? I've tried it but nothing was done.

    That does look real but states on the bottom of description it ain't silver. Buyer beware

    Doesn't matter what they put in writing, the round is counterfeit. It should be seized by the government and the seller arrested. Want to make an honest round, put the word copy or replica on it.

    Report to Perth Mint, big guns deal with big guns.

    Somewhere in the description says 'pure silver'.
    "Beautiful satin shiny mirror finished in pure silver."

    This is why I am always afraid to buy from ebay, even though some people are offering great prices.

    Yes I have done this in the past and the seller was banned in no time. A much quicker and effective option.

    Good point and in fact since the Perth Mint is the ultimate authority on their own products, there would be no doubt that the seller is selling fakes if the PM insists it is a fake. eBay could not claim that the PM is not an authority on their own products.

    fakeBay is a joke.

    There was (or still is) some Spanish guy selling fake Tiffany art 2012 coins in fleaBay. I reported his auctions several times to feeBay. Even contacted CIT. CIT contacted fooBay.

    fuzzBay didn't do anything...
