Saw the kijiji ad yesterday in the Ottawa section too.

If you reverse lookup the phone number, you'll get his name, company name, and even street address in Woodbridge ON.

BTW he has upped the ante and added gold plating to the 'coin'.

The ad describes it as ".999 PURE SILVER/GOLD PLATED TITANIC 2012 COMMEMORATIVE COINS"

I think someone should take some action.
Selling counterfeit coin is illegal. Just like using counterfeit money. This is very serious issue.
Wonder why no one report this issue to the police.

Pop Coin


Technically, this creation can be considered a Fantasy coin. There are obvious differences between that and the real coin - no face value, different effigy for instance that the manufacturer omitted not to get into some REAL trouble. The case may be different also, no COA, etc.

The intent of the seller however was clearly to fool the buyers in thinking they were buying the real thing (or a mule). That's the problem.

The old adage... Buyer beware.
