Warning: counterfeit Panama-Pacific $1 gold coin sold on eBay (seller: Member66068)

Posting this as a warning to other collectors.

I purchased a Panama-Pacific $1 gold coin on eBay from seller Member66068. After I sent it to NGC for grading it came back and was confirmed to be counterfeit.

When I attempted to return the coin, the seller blocked me, preventing further communication. I reported the issue to eBay three separate times, including submitting evidence that the coin is counterfeit, but I have received no meaningful assistance or resolution so far.

I have not resold or listed this coin. This post is strictly for collector awareness so others can proceed with caution when buying Panama-Pacific gold on eBay.
