biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/10/2009 7:35 pm It is without a doubt a fake and an obvious one at that. The IGWT motto on the reverse was not used until 1866. Even without that obvious sign, the coin just does not look "right" even with the small lousy pics I just reported it to ebay, lets see if they can poof it before it ends Edited by biokemist6 09/10/2009 7:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coincollectingkid Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 09/10/2009 7:46 pm another fake, it's not even a good one at that! I love how the description reads, part of my husbands collection, being sold by our divorce! But yet, people that have little to no knowledge of coins are bidding on it Report this Post to the Staff
TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 09/11/2009 07:58 am no doubt a fake. Otherwise why would a $12,000 (in MS-63) coin sell for $187.50? Report this Post to the Staff

I guess that is why they are getting the divorce. He probably paid the 12K for the fake coin. Report this Post to the Staff

nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 09/11/2009 11:43 am Wow! That is a great use for fake coins. Bait in the event of a divorce. She goes after the $250,000 coin collection that you got in Hong Kong for $50, and you might get to keep more worthwhile stuff. Report this Post to the Staff
cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 09/11/2009 1:34 pm That is a great idea. NEWS FLASH- Chinese Fakes best hedge against divorce settlements. Report this Post to the Staff
