http://www.ebay.com/itm/141482644386...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT. Obvious counterfeit, just hope none of you guys are bidding! Seller has bad feedback of a similar sell in the past.

Not only that, but it is an absolutely terrible fake to boot. Abe looks like he was on something (other than the coin). Thanks for the heads up, but I certainly hope none of our members would have been fooled by this one.Bob Piazza

Looks more like Ricardo Montalban than Abraham Lincoln. Was expecting to see Herve Villechaize on the reverse. "Da plane!

If the other bidders lost out, no problem. There's more of the SAME coin:

If you read his feed back they state he buys novelty and sales them. Wonder why they never filed charges.Comment

I made the mistake of contacting this ******* to tell him he was selling counterfeit, and his reply was "Your problem is twofold, young and dumb." I have no idea why he thinks I'm young, but I have certification of my IQ, lol. Just call the FBI next time and report their the trafficking in counterfeit currency.All opinions expressed are not necessarily shared by willbrooks or his affiliates.

Young and dumb huh? Maybe you should go 'Old and Cranky' all over his a**. As far as I am concerned, this is definitely a case that can be reported, especially since there are multiples involved. I don't mind getting involved, and I will.Bob Piazza

And he is back at it again. This time 1922 p Looks AU + strong reverse.
And 1914 D about the same and you can tell they are fake.

Such a shame. You would think that eBay would shut him down. Negative feedback for selling fakes, repeat sales of rarities and some INB slabbed coins.
I appreciate all of the information this site has provided to help me make educated decisions on my purchases.Comment

3rd one from the same seller in the last 2 months. Looks like all the sellers coins are fake to me.
Both with positive feedback....Hard enough selling legit coins and this guy gets away with selling obvious fakes.
and you ask why ebay won shut him down?. Just his first page of feedback going back to October totals over $3400 with a bad feedback and ebay gets a chunk of every one of them....Last edited by kloccwork419; 01-14-2015, 05:07 PM.Comment
