"Dear *divewrecks*, Hi, I read your question. I just want to say that I am no coin expert. I dont know much about this coin other than it was given to me while traveling. Thats why im selling this as silver bullion. -salgarcia91744"

********************************************************************

Note: This is the same Mexican seller using different Ebay names. The text and font used in the ads is identical. What a scam. Please help me by reporting these items to Ebay. Click on the "report item" flag on the page describing each item. Thx

I went ahead and reported this item to ebay. I doubt they really care, but if enough of us do maybe we can stop this crap from being circulated on there.
 

HF8, the more complaints the better. THX! I traded a few more emails with the seller and think I got a little rise out of him, but I'm sure some is lost in the translation. If anyone knows fluent Spanish and has some inspiration perhaps they could contact one or both (the same) of the sellers bellow....

Stan... His English is much better in his listings.

"Hard to find tenth troy ounce .999 silver round made by A.U. Minting. The obverse features the Indian Head design, and the reverse features a torch design. Limited quantity."

"I ran into this while traveling and finaly deciced to sell it. This is authentic mexican silver bullion. I am no coin expert nor do I iknow its real value."

Seems to be! I can't say much though. His English is better than my Spanish!

It only takes a few clicks as you know. I'll be interested what the guy with the 2 Escudo coin says about the "PAV" instead of the "PVA" inscription....Whoops!
