CoinManTim Valued Member Australia 318 Posts	Posted 08/17/2011 02:45 am http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2008-CEN...t_3163wt_877 Seen the above item on ebay today. It made me shake my head, what do you guys think about manipulated PNC's? I think the seller should be ashamed to be ripping people off. - Especially by calling it rare. Like doi, if you make it yourself it probably would be rare. (My objection to this one is that it still has all the Aus Post stuff on it, at least other private release PNC's go to the effort of making something out of a blank envelope - not that I agree with them either, but that's another topic!).

CoinManTim Valued Member Australia 318 Posts	Posted 08/17/2011 03:25 am Sorry, "fake" as in someone else has taken the Australian Post PNC, cut a hole in it, put another coin in, put a sticker on it which says "made by me, limited edition of 200" and called it rare. It's the only one seller is selling, all others and feedback that I checked says real PNC's - but this one is just a cut and stick job which I'm referring to as a fake. Who knows, perhaps they purchased it off someone else thinking it was worth something. Report this Post to the Staff

steve - Oz 50c man Valued Member Australia 490 Posts	Posted 08/17/2011 3:32 pm I don't like this at all. This is not a good example of an aftermarket PNC, which I understand are not to everyone's taste in the first place. There are some craftspeople out there turning out items that are pleasing to the eye and of collector quality, this is not an example of one of those. Report this Post to the Staff
