Counterfeit & Questionable <strong>Error</strong>s<br />
by Al Levy (alscoins.com)<br />
There are so many questionable coins being sold on<br />
eBay. There is not enough time to list each transaction.<br />
Nor, do all of them rate being listed. This grouping<br />
are lots sold for over $9.99. The main reason is that<br />
reputable coin collectors and dealers do not mind<br />
spending a small price to have a few on hand as<br />
comparison pieces. Or, they fit into a type collection.<br />
These coins I consider as cousins to the “Waffled<br />
coins”. Some are neatly done. Others are made to<br />
fleece the collector. But like most collectibles, people<br />
buy them for whatever reason. Some nice counterfeits<br />
bring strong prices.<br />
Here are records of recent sales on eBay from July 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009.<br />
