hi everyone, I reached out to the auctioneer and this was his response, he seems pretty genuine. this is an email I received this morning. Quote:
Hi Will:
Thank you for your input on the forum.
I don't think that the guy was actually banned, but he would have been listed as a buyer who didnt complete the sale by Icollector. They see a sale not complete they note this on their list of buyers to beware of.
I will be sure he is not banned from future sales.
We at no time denied his allegation on the coin, but found it odd that no one had heard of bad ones. We asked a lot of dealers, including Steven B.
Good to know the reason behind why it is a fake.
Again, thanks for checking in to this.
I think out of the hundreds of thousands of lots we have offered we may have seen 2 - 3 bad coins which we do not offer again once we find out.
We are auctioneers and not coin dealers and have to rely on the consignors and their knowledge as a collector,
The consignor of this coin has been a client for 30 plus years.
He obviously was fooled when he bought this coin.
Feel free to call me Will.

orfew - send me a personal message through CCF and I'll make sure you get a couple of nice real NFLD coins to start your collection... a small gift from me (and CCF). NFLD collectors are almost as rare as NFLD coins themselves!!

Many thanks to all for the support. It is greatly appreciated. BTW, I definitely received a message stating I was banned.
@Nickelsguy
I did not receive an email from you.
@SPP-Ottawa
I cannot send or receive emails through ccf for some reason. I would however love to take you up on your most generous offer if I can get the email function fixed.
Mods
Could you else find out why I cannot send or receive emails through CCF?

The ban was from the auction company. I am still on icollector with no problems registering for other auctions.

I sent you a PM through CCF. If you don't receive it then perhaps your current email is different from the one you registered with - check you own profile settings to be sure.

There is a reason that many collectors of gold, especially old gold, want TPG authentication. There are just so many counterfeits and doctored pieces out there (and some scary good ones), it's nice to know that at least you're buying the real deal. Edited by hadleydog

I am not good with computers but I think there is a 1865 newfoundland gold on ebay.ca that has the same attributes as this coin I think,not completely sure. |

123301298090Unreal! Seller's coin is OBV3, 1865 should be OBV1. Note that OP's coin is also OBV3, 1870 should be OBV1 or OBV2.

I also reported it on the Canadian Counterfeit Forum.
If you get it removed, let me know and I will delete the posting.

Yes - I am just busy, out of town, and basically not dealing with coin emails at the moment. I'll reply to you sometime after Aug 22, when I get home.

orfew,
FYI - nickelsguy sells a CD-Rom disk with images of all the known made-in-China counterfeit coins, including NFLD and other Provincial coins. The gold coin discussed here is on that disk. Arm yourself with knowledge, if you (or other members) are interested in obtaining this CD-Rom, you can email him: fakecoins@live.com
PS - your free legit coin(s) will be mailed this week.
