There are a few dealers that are part of the problem that said.....they have no authority to confiscate. They also do not wish the fallout (rightly so) which could happen. Dealers are often asked to destroy fakes when they identify them for customers which I believe almost all do. We shall see what happens with the 2018 saga........

The are no recent sales. There is only one. If you own it. Nice. The only individual with the contacts for such a coin is Sandy Campbell of Proof Positive Coins. Reach out to him.

weight of the 6 I have in hand 6.6 to 6.9gms
I do not believe these came from China. Too labor intensive for them.

No need for markers.....Just look at it. The poorest example yet IMO. Outer ring is plated, struck separate from core then core installed with a punch. All found to date....GTA. More to follow.

Sure looks like a localized small lamination to me as the leaf itself seems to also be involved. Just a thought.
Either way, great eye as usual!!

So much to say.....not allowed here! Maybe turn off hydro........sell crude to EU. Lumber to China. Produce as well. Major shift..... Lots of Canadian coin dealers like Paccoin to buy from!!!!!!!

Great pics as always. At first glance I think they both are ragged clips, just very small ones. Are you sure that the cracks are not laminations? NICE! MM
