Thank you for the quick action, since the ad is already removed...
I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day.

Dollars, that 1859 is a beaut. I think it's real and would love to own it. The seller has 19000+ feedback, so he sure wouldn't knowingly sell fakes.

For everyone's information, there is a "report this item" on every auction page. If you KNOW it's counterfeit, then use that link. I have been writing seller's about incorrect varieties (when it's the common one being passed as the valuable one, and reporting it to ebay if they don't correct it), and reporting fakes and shill bidders to ebay for almost 20 years. |

For example, the Chinese counterfeiting of the Bank of Upper Canada token has been known for several years, but its presence on ebay until now was fortunately quite limited. Otherwise, over the years, I have already reported directly via "report this item" various counterfeit coins/tokens that I encountered. Unfortunately in my case it was not very fast and effective... Maybe the situation has improved today, I will do the test next time. I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day.

You get better results sending personal messages to Nickelsguy or having someone post it in the counterfeit section here for you - those usually get yanked within an hour or less...

If I understand correctly there is a "Counterfeit Section" reserved only for some members of CCF? I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day.

I have decided to repost a response that I gave concerning counterfeits in a thread concerning a 1932 50 cent piece. It will be lost in that thread for anyone that wants to reference it. This is a better thread for it to be posted: "For those of you who don't know, my friend Mikey, also known as nickelsguy, has led the Canadian charge to counteract the fakes that started to inundate the Canadian collector market. He formed a great friendship with Sgt F from the RCMP, who also took a keen interest and a concentrated two-pronged effort began. Mike finally got ebay to stop by going through Paypal and that threatened ebay's money supply. The RCMP started a door-knocking campaign threat to dealers suspected of selling Chinese fakes. Things were coming around, but the RCNA somewhat backed off. There are tough laws on the books in Canada, but a lack of enforcement effort by the RCM and RCNA made what could have been rewarding, a nearly forgotten campaign. Canada actually has tougher Heritage laws than the US, but enforcement programs are more focussed on stopping currency counterfeiting than historical coinage. Mike actually worked with the US House of Representatives to help draft US legislation that mirrored the Canadian efforts, but that too lost steam (or really ANY initial effort). When Sgt F got promoted and moved, there was no one in the RCMP that wanted to grab the tail of the wounded donkey ... so the donkey is healthy again and only gets it's nose bloody by cancelling ebay auctions and Paypal transactions. The impetice to actually arrest someone for selling foreign crap has lost it's fervor. Only Mikey and JimmyD from this site, as well as the "counterfeit reporting" section still have their sabers drawn. Thanks guys! |

https://www.ebay.com/itm/196417242644Can someone do their magic in getting this pulled? I messaged them informing them this is a counterfeit. They replied with a photo of the coin sitting on a scale with the correct weight and proceeded to ignore me. I told them fakes have the correct weight. doesn't mean its genuine.

The security maple leaf and the Queen's eye brow and nose look kind of funky on that fake.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...
