dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 09/23/2013 2:14 pm Quote: The buyer of this coin more than likely knows it's not a legitimate error. The buyer of a Chinese fake off a Chinese site knows it is not a legitimate coin. So, no problem. Glad we cleared that up. How is one a egregious crime, and the other a legitimate collectible? ARGH!

t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 09/23/2013 3:22 pm Simple (?): even in a collectible format, we are talking about money, and money is power. If you keep your interests at the hobby level, you spend less and enjoy more. Between a nice coin and a bottle of 2006 Tenutta dell'Ornellaia, I go for the bottle, no regrets and MUCH more pleasure.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 09/23/2013 4:15 pm I concur completely. A month ago, I made the decision between an expensive coin or a motorcycle.... and simply no coin has ever come close to reproducing the silly grin on my face that has come from riding the last month...

Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 09/23/2013 5:29 pm Dialog My opinion is completely different. The Chinese fakes are fake through and through.... This coin is real in every which way, planchet material, machines used, where it's minted.. it's a legitimate coin. A purposeful production alteration that probably has funded very well those who keep selling it. There is a difference between a legitimate coin vs. legitimate error.. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 09/23/2013 8:32 pm I tend to agree with Coin chick. It was knowingly sneaked out the back door as a fake error and listed as a real error. Simply a glorified Magicians coin. Basically stolen from the mint and I still think it should be destroyed. Report this Post to the Staff
t_y Pillar of the Community Canada 632 Posts	Posted 09/23/2013 8:36 pm Not destroyed - it should be given to the currency museum, so collectors would be able to examine it and learn. But it will never happen Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 09/23/2013 8:45 pm Good idea T_Y. At least the people who have read this thread know about it. Report this Post to the Staff
