Counterfeit Canadian Coins!

Zonad, how long have you been tracking my purchases on ebay now? The image you posted is from over 1 week ago.

Zonad, you need to appologize to this forum and to ebay for going against ebay's user agreement, and posting feedback information. Specifically, what you did is in direct violation of ebay's posted policy listed below:

"take any action that may undermine the feedback or ratings systems (such as displaying, importing or exporting feedback information off of the sites or using it for purposes unrelated to ebay);"

But there is a much bigger problem here.

ebay's policy in part is below:

--did Zonad abuse ebay's policy and post personal and/or proprietary content? Surely, you must be joking--Coin Community Staff.

I gave the seller a negative feedback on April 8th. On April 9th after my negative was already on 2nd page of his feedback I reported the item I bought to ebay as not having markings. Obviously I continued checking his ebay feedback to see what would happen with the item I bought and low and behold, you gave him a positive the next day. I don't spy on people on ebay unless I am suspicious of an item they are selling and check their buing feedback to see if they have been buying from CHINA.

Amazing, Zonad comments about MKB downplaying the problem of modern Chinese counterfeits and shows he's actually a buyer of such unsavory goods. Zonad then asked if they fakes purchased were counterstamped, but instead of getting a answer, he receives a tirade of abuse. Then DBM steps up accusing Zonad of a "witch hunt"


Talk about witch hunts, my goodness! DBM, I would say there's definitely a chance that Mr.mkb's actions are questionable if only because of his reaction to Zonad's question, which I might add is still unanswered. I would openly question any buyer of such well made "replica" coins that is not actively researching same for some place like forgerynetwork.com. Since the question brought forth a open attack as opposed to a honest reply, one has to wonder.
I'm a ebayer too, and would openly invite Zonad to review my feedback rating without going into a hissy fit over it. I would say that it sounds like Mr.mkb has something to hide. Perhaps only a sudden attack of conscience, who knows? Irregardless, the point of this thread is to point out just how dangerous these Chinese counterfeits really are, and as you can see, anyone can import them....anyone. A person won't be accused of arson if he doesn't play with matches. By the reaction alone I'd have to say there's a guilt factor there. It's not a normal reaction or come back, it's a over reaction. "Why can't we all just get along?" ~ Jim

I think the counterfeit is #3.
As for the rest of the thread...nuff said. Thanks Jim.

Zonad,
Good for you reporting on Jinghuashei. Obviously, it's pretty easy to peddle these fakes on ebay, and now that die-struck copies are becoming prevalent, detection will become more difficult.



I don't think Zonad has done anything improper. If your name here is the same as your ebay seller ID, don't be surprised if people check into your buying history.
After all, this is public information. My ebay ID is kurt.sports --look all you want.

As long as we keep things civil--and on the subject of Canadian forgeries, all's well. Btw--if some of the OT stuff goes away, it should be clear why.

Hello Gopher and Zonad....
marked them with letters...am not sure what you mean with 3.
But if you meant C, it is NOT C.
As for the RCMP.... and Fake coins..... They told me they do not have the time to follow up..
basically, they do not care......spoke with a forgery specialist. he was sympathetic, but......unless it has larger implications......or you have specific information....NO GO...
He actually indicated it is Canada Customs responsibility to confiscate these forgeries....
