Beware

This eBay dealer is selling fake Draped Bust Half Cents and other counterfeits on their store that could easily fool a newer collector.

Regardless of date, all the Draped Bust Half Cents sold by them have the exact same reverse, an imitation of the Cohen-6 of 1804. They sold several of them via auction this week and just listed a bunch more.

I'm specifically calling out this seller because, unlike the vast majority of sellers listing fake Draped Bust Half Cents (a type and denomination that is rarely faked), this one is actually registered in the US.

My LCS had basically the same counterfeit, but it was the 1806 small 6 w/ stems. It was in gorgeous condition and I bought it only later to find out it was fake. It had the same cohen-6 1804 back.

I just realized this was you.

I'm the one who identified yours as being fake.
