Maya Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 What do you all think about this coin? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...hlink:middle:us The seller does not seem to know it's not supposed to be silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Obviously it's not platinum when it is supposed to be. Should send a report to ebay soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Ebay makes reporting these next to impossible if you use their regular form, so use this: Reporting suspect items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaddevil Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 maybe the seller doesnt know did sum1 try contacting him/her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hussulo Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Another good old "User ID kept private" auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And986 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 eh looks slver to me and they made platinum coins back then???? Nice joke... The "thing" from eBay is a slap in a face to anybody who has spend any time even looking at it... 10 cents is the fleamarket's price in Vancouver. And it is not silver. Poopalloy it is - to be polite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yes dustin, Russia made platinum coins for circulation and probably was the only country that managed to do so. If I am not wrong, Spain and France did attempt to mint coins in gold plated platinum but it wasn't a big success, nor was Russia although it did mint platinum coins from 1828-45.

Scottishmoney Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 And a buttload of good it does to report it to eBay. Auction still up and the fake seller gets away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 What do you all think about this coin? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...hlink:middle:us The seller does not seem to know it's not supposed to be silver. Guys, you all missed the point here ! The seller knows that the coin is fake ! He specifies "silver" in purpose ! The coin listed IS MADE of silver. So, NONE will be able to blame the seller !

And986 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 - PS "The coin listed IS MADE of silver." - it is NOT! As I said before exactly the same material is sold at fleamarket at 10 cents a peace. Some are even 20 cents... - gxseries, please kindly watch your words as there are some youths in this forum. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 It is a base metal, not silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hussulo Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 5 days to go. I bet it goes for a lot too! It's a shame for the beginners who get stung on such auctions. It is sometimes hard for a beginner to tell the difference between real coins and semi good-very good fakes. I bet quite a lot of beginners get stung on fleebay and then quit this great hobby. Note to all novices. If a deal seems to good to be true, it probably is! eBay just seems to be a money spinning monster. I think that if a few people complain about a particular auction they should pull the said auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And986 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 The sad part of it - they just don't care. I now for sure that at least 7 complaints against this particular auction have been made and the crap is still on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisenish Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Look at the final price of this crap - I've never seen such idioticity before. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...DME:B:WNA:US:12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin43160 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 you could buy 3 ounces of platinum with that kind of money!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maya Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Another staggering price for what appears to be junk metal. This auction ended with the winning bid at $4,050.00 with 44 bids. Is it really possible for so many people to be wrong? By the way, I did ask the seller about his description of the coin as being "silver", but received no answer at all. Guess who is laughing all the way to the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I should order copies from China and start to mass flood ebay with them. Oh yes, would someone like 12 ruble "platinum" to go with it? Buy it now: Platinum bullion value, what a great deal!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hussulo Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Like I said "I bet it goes for a lot too!". Very sad and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And986 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 This is an obvious fraud. The police should be involved. Ether the auction was fake and somebody just laundering the money or forty or so mental patients just escaped from the institution.... What is more likely?

Hussulo Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Damn my bid of $3950 was just a little short. Seriously though. I think your right And986 something smells fish here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
