More Fake NCLT Coins Duck & Robin

Yes it does seem like someone has bid on all of the fakes.....I was thinking about making a fake account to buy them all and not pay. But someone beat me to it haha. I wonder what the repercussions are for doing such a thing....pretty risky if you ask me. Unless its someone that is intending to pay for them....I hope that's not the c ASE

The coin is not very well done, I see it's not as the original and the description is clear "copy (my opinion)

metal unknown or copper - nickel".
And just for the price is obvious is not the original.

The problem is the people that hide the fact that is fake and sell with the same price as the original!

Sorry, I had not read the rules concerning the posting of external site, but I thought people should know concerning this possible fake coin.

I didn't know there where copy of this kind of coin just before reading all the post here..thanks for the information.

Welcome @Karvergames! You may want to check out the counterfeit form on the other Canadian thread. There's a guy Mike, who gave a talk in Toronto at a coin show recently, he is very active in trying to stop counterfeits. There was write ups in a Toronto newspaper about his work. I believe the link is on the other thread. I've been contacting buyers and letting them know they bought a counterfeit and I report these ebay auctions. It's through this forum I learned how far reaching this problem is. I just wish our mint would take action, it would be more effective. As other sites allow the selling of copy coins.

Thanks a lot for all the information, I look it up, it was very interesting. But the seller keeps postings coins

on ebay (France) and says that he doesn't want to send them to Canada...no wonder... I made him shut down 4 of 5

sales!, but he keeps putting new one's back, but only for 24Hours now so I have to check daily. I signaled the

information on a site in Canada that we can leave information about that kind of crime, but I made some research and he has been active for a month now!selling the fakes for less then 10 dollars for a 20 dollars butterfly, bee or even the 10 dollars duck.
Hope the proper authorities shuts him down!

We have also contacted the mint in regards to this issue. This could do serious harm to the hobby if these start showing up frequently at shows in shops and of course online. We have supplied the mint with all the information we have and they have begun to look into it.

The priceminster site has a lot of Canadian fakes for sale right down to circulation coins example 2010 poppy quarter. I didn't know it's so wide spread! I'm almost thinking of exclusively buying from mint releases. Kudos to Gatewest for moving on this issue!! Please keep us updated as to the mints response! I do hope they start to take action!

Is this coin fake?
