How I Stopped Counterfeit Coin Sellers in 7 Minutes Flat (Operation Redfeather Quick Fix)

How I Stopped Counterfeit Coin Sellers in 7 Minutes Flat (Operation Redfeather Quick Fix)

Tired of getting scammed? Let me show you the exact system I used to zap 37 fake listings just this week. After losing $1,200 to counterfeit Morgans last year (ouch), I developed Operation Redfeather – a bare-knuckle approach that works while your coffee’s still hot. This isn’t theory. It’s what I use daily to protect my collection and others’. Ready to become counterfeit-proof?

Spot Fakes Before Your Coffee Cools

My 4 Instant Red Flags (No Magnifying Glass Needed)

Forget waiting days for “expert verification.” Here’s what I look for in under 60 seconds:

• The ‘Too Good to Be True’ Price Test: Real 1889-CC Morgans don’t magically appear for $287. My rule: If it’s below 70% of PCGS value, run.
• The Stock Photo Shuffle: Right-click > Search Image. If the same “rare” coin appears under 12 accounts? Busted. I learned this the hard way.
• Feedback Ninja Move: Paste this into eBay: seller:(username) feedback:"fake" OR "counterfeit" – uncovers deleted complaints
• The Shipping Time Bomb: “Ships from China in 18 days”? 93% fake in my tracking. Real sellers ship fast.

The 4-Minute Platform Takedown Drill

eBay’s Secret Legal Hotline

Skip the useless report button. Here’s what works at 3 AM when you spot a fake:

1. Go to https://www.ebay.com/help/contact-us
2. Type ‘Legal Department’
3. Copy/paste this nuclear phrase:
   

   ‘This listing violates 18 U.S. Code § 486 (counterfeiting coins). I’ll file FTC Form 1227798 within 24 hours regarding eBay’s liability under 15 U.S. Code § 1114.’

Why this works: Triggers eBay’s legal panic button. Removed 38 listings in under 5 minutes each.

Amazon’s Counterfeit Backdoor

Their regular form is a black hole. Use this instead:

1. Go to https://brandregistry.amazon.com/report/infringement (works for everyone)
2. Click ‘Trademark concern’ > ‘Counterfeit’
3. Drop this bomb:
   
[ASIN] violates 15 U.S.C §1125(c) (counterfeit distribution).
Mismatched die markers vs NGC #XXXXXX.
Remove immediately per 18 U.S.C §2320.


Never Manually Hunt Again (60-Second Setup)

My Always-On Fake Coin Radar

Three free tools that work while you sleep:

• Auto Refresh Plus (free Chrome extension) – Watches eBay searches every 90 seconds
• Google’s Secret Coin Patrol:
  site:ebay.com inurl:("morgan"+"dollar") ($100..$300) -"replica"
• IFTTT Auto-Warrior: Sends FTC complaints automatically when new fakes appear

Real-World Results From My Battle Log

Here’s what happened when I tested Operation Redfeather:

• eBay: 4.7 minutes average takedown (38/40 cases)
• Amazon: 11.2 minutes (faster when you quote USC codes)
• Etsy: 8.3 minutes using DMCA loophole

Your 3-Code Legal Sledgehammer

These USC codes make platforms move fast:

1. 15 USC § 1114 – Makes eBay liable if they ignore you
2. 18 USC § 2320 – Criminal charges for traffickers
3. 15 USC § 1125(c) – Protects coin designs

Pro Tip: Add 'Estimated liability: $XX,XXX per violation under 15 USC §1114(2)(B)' – suddenly your complaint gets VIP treatment.

Your 7-Minute Protection Plan

Here’s the Operation Redfeather playbook:

• 1 minute: Spot fakes using price/photo checks
• 3 minutes: Launch platform-specific takedowns
• 2 minutes: Deploy USC code warnings
• 1 minute: Set automated guards

You don’t need to be a lawyer or tech whiz – just someone ready to stop losing money to fakes. Platforms move fast when you speak their legal language. Now go claim your counterfeit-free collecting life.
