    Hi all,

    this guy is selling one of them fake 1906 ASE's but get this:

    "100% guaranteed to be authentic,1906 Walking Liberty Silver Dollar, in good cond. free World Wide shipping"

    he is selling all the common fake silver product including the obvious peace dollar and trade dollars

    250952980792

    To me the worst part is the 100% guarentee!

    Watch out peeps!

    Wow - eBay has a new reporting feature:

    Prohibited and restricted items
    - Stamps, currency and coins
    - Replica coins, replica paper money and replica stamps

    Looks like they've had to add a specific reporting option for dodgy coin listings.

    Many thanks for this post.

    Same goes to anyone who reports dodgy sellers and listings. This info is priceless for all stackers and collectors, particularly those of us who are just dipping our toes in the water and potentially vulnerable to scumbags.

    Cheers

    Probably bought it in Thailand or something. I reported it to feebay, if a couple of others do the same maybe (big ask) they will pull it.

    wow I was just checking out the listing and then did a refresh and then ebay page said listing has been removed!

    All the other items are still there though.

    The walking liberty is one of my favorite designs, but is a half dollar, not a full dollar. The coins I have seen that were claimed to be fake ASEs appeared to me to be well worn walking liberty half dollars.
