    Watch out, these are fakes. Several experts have let him know after he posted them.

    Re: More Fakes on Ebay, WATCH OUT!

    ebay will make sellers of fake coins/cobs give refunds if requested but many people are ignorant and don't know they were taken until it's too late.

    I used to buy lots of Spanish cobs off ebay and I never got burned. But today I rarely do it. I try to locate actual treasure hunters and buy from them. I want my cobs ocean encrusted and mostly uncleaned.

    I also used to buy rare paintings off ebay until I got burned big a couple of times. The fakes were so good it took me a couple of years to discover the truth.

    Today on ebay probably not 1 claimed painting in 10,000 is a genuine original 19th to early 20th century painting.

    Would I be nervous about the rest he has to offer...ah YEP.

    I would never buy a coin on eBay
    I prefer to deal with private dealers, estates
    I get to see the coin in person,
