Another fake or forgery popping up on Ebay..this time its from a new user newbie.

Ebay has been contacted about this and will hopefully shut down the auction.

At that point just don't buy any coin that you can't trace the origin, even partially.

You mean provenance? That is a good idea but how do you do that with these coins? Especially redeemed ones? I know some people have bought directly from Mike and thus know where the coin came from but otherwise how would that be done? I was fortunate enough to buy a silver gilt 2013 1BTc directly from Mike right before he closed shop in 2013.
