"Trade dollar" and "Chinese" tells you
everything you need to know.

Why even take a chance?

He prefers PayPal, he sez, and then wants 3% surcharge if you pay that way.
That used to be against the rules for stateside sales, maybe it still is?

Check out his feedback, it's hilarious! He neg'd a seller (from China
coincidentally) because he claimed the coin he purchased was a fake. Anyone
else see the irony in that?

Ha! Irony, indeed! I had missed that. Well, maybe he got part of his loss
back with the $170 that he is getting from the unsuspecting buyer of the
Trade Dollar.

Ummm--my first thought was the movie Gremlins. Ever see that? They purchased
one of the little furry critters from a chinese antiques dealer. Just like
this coin here-- once they took the cutie home they found out their purchase
was not what it appeared to be either.
Although I doubt a coin could destroy an entire small town though.

Checking THAT sellers feedback is even more eye-opening. That seller has
6-7 feedbacks claiming he sent fake coins, and he claims each of them is
"trying to rip off me". Must be a conspiracy!

My first thought is that "CC" in this case stands for "Chungking,
China."

He left out the final part of the sentence -- "...for fourteen dollars..."
