dialog_gvf: I don't think it is the Chinese... lol. It is the Sudbury "big nickel" coin. I have never seen one but it is suppose to be the size of a loony.

^^^ That's where I saw that obverse before!

The listings were for circulated 5c pieces. It's possible it was simply the wrong pic.

Purchased from this gentleman. Rude, uncommunicative, and sent the wrong coins.

Warning folks, steer clear.

$4 for a 46 and 47 nickel in AU is a bit steep, but he sent a 62 and a 68. They've been cast ... and they've got Ed on the back. I'd have been happy with a clever counterfeit, at least I could have said "hey, check it out, it's really a fake" and shown someone the errors. But these don't even *look* like coinage. Oh well. He claims he'll give me a refund, but he requires a tracking number to return them. Really? $15 for tracking $0.10 of fake coins. I've forwarded the information to the local police, as well as some high res pics. I wonder if they'll investigate, or just put his name in a file somewhere.

I'm at a loss. How can anyone make money faking common 5c pieces?

If you still have them, can you post some good pics?
