Counterfeit & Questionable <strong>Error</strong>sby Al Levy (alscoins.com)There are so many questionable coins being sold oneBay. There is not enough time to list each transaction.Nor, do all of them rate being listed. This grouping arelots sold for over $9.99. The main reason is that reputablecoin collectors and dealers do not mind spending asmall price to have a few on hand as comparison pieces.Or, they fit into a type collection. These coins I consideras cousins to the “Waffled coins.” Some are neatlydone. Others are made to fleece the collector. But likemost collectibles, people buy them for whatever reason.Some nice counterfeits bring strong prices.Here are records of recent sales on eBay from January 1, 2010 to March <strong>31</strong>, 2010.DESCRIPTION GRADE PRICE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION1c 1835 BLANK REVERSE SMOOTHED $33.50 GETTING COIN READY TO CREATEA "LOVE TOKEN"? 4001026114461c 1837 LARGE CENT OLD US ERROR COIN!!!
