THE EBAY CARNAGE CONTINUES - ANOTHER ALTERED 1893-S MORGAN
Another altered coin allegedly produced by that lady from Boyce,
Louisiana. SEE FOLLOWING: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...4969 984&rd=1 Reported to eBay 1/28/05: Please be advised that this is definitely an illegally altered coin with the following provable history: It was purchased as an 1898-S Morgan Silver Dollar by eBay buyer "see32" from Boyce, Louisiana, on 12/27/04 in eBay auction #3949526476, from seller murphycoinco, for $21.50. SEE THE FOLLOWING: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3949526476 The coin was then altered to appear to be an 1893-S Morgan Silver Dollar, allegedly by "see32", having a potential market value in excess of $3000.00, and sold on YAHOO, auction #88951664 on 1/20/05 as a silver dollar that "has been (altered) to look like a 1893-S Morgan dollar" to Yahoo buyer "rmichaels123" for $125.00. SEE FOLLOWING: http://page.auctions.shopping.yahoo....aucview=closed The Yahoo seller, "camo1950" just happens (coincidentally?) to be from BOYCE, LOUISIANA, and has sold approximately 46 of these illegally altered coins on Yahoo since late October of 2004, at time more or less coincidental with the time that eBay seller "see32" was allegedly temporarily barred from eBay for selling, GUESS WHAT, ILLEGALLY ALTERED 1893-S MORGAN SILVER DOLLARS. As an aside, eBay buyer "see32" has also, allegedly (and easily provable)purchased no less than 51 1898-S Morgan Silver Dollars on eBay since September of 2004; and, also allegedly, has sold at least 15 "altered" 1893-S Morgan Silver Dollars on eBay, while Yahoo seller "camo1950" has sold at least 46 of the same illegally altered coins on Yahoo, many of which can be photographically matched directly to eBay auctions of 1898-S dollars purchased by "see32" who is, ALLEGEDLY, one and the same as camo1950. Now we have eBay seller "rdemilia" so innocently stating.. "In looking at the coin, it appears to be legitimate but I don't have the proper diagnostics nor expertise to tell for certain. As such, I cannot guarantee it's authenticity." A simple search of rdemilia's history as a seller on eBay will show that this seller has been selling coins on eBay since May of 2001, has a feedback rating of 214, and most probably the expertise to recognize the very straight-forward, and simple "diagnostics" of the 1893-S Morgan Silver Dollar. However, giving the benefit of the doubt, rdemilia is still in violation of eBay policy regarding the potential listing of a non-authentic coin. This Seller is doing extreme damage to the Hobby and Profession of Numismatics, in addition to the potentially committing of a federal crime, and must be stopped. Not only is the alteration of that coin a direct violation of Title 18, Section 331 of the United States Code, which is punishable by a fine or imprisonment for up to 5 years, or both, but selling it in violation of THE HOBBY PROTECTION ACT OF NOVEMBER 29, 1973 is probably also a Federal crime. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU STOP THIS SELLER FROM SELLING ILLEGALLY ALTERED COINS SUCH AS IS OFFERED IN THE SUBJECT AUCTION IN DIRECT AND BLATANT VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW AND EBAY POLICIES. |

I see the seller is now playing innocent, stating that the coin might be altered. Has eBay responded with their "Thank you for playing, but we're just a venue" line yet? John Baumgart |

You bet John, unfortunately, unless enough people put pressure on the
authorities, nothing will happen. I posted a message here yesterday with the name and email address of the Secret Service guy in Baton Rouge that I've been talking to, but it disappeared. I'll send it to anyone that wants to email me and ask for it. Jerry |

Click on "ABOUT ME" in one of the closed "altered" 1893-S Yahoo
auctions and this is what you'll see: "Yahoo ID: camo1950 My address is Preston Graves, 6848 Hwy. 1 North, Boyce, La. 71409. Thanks Camo1950. " |
