plonker Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 07/04/2013 10:11 am Looks to me the edge inscripted after the minting as it protrude out. Also the surface seems to be shinny for a coin of that age. Any other clues to why you have figured it out be a fake ? Thanks ! Report this Post to the Staff

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 07/07/2013 11:31 pm This is a recent trend of Chinese sellers pretending to be based in Canada, but rest assured a lot is being done about this thanks to Mr. Mike Marshall. Report this Post to the Staff

Although having the appearance of being cleaned it retains the tell-tale marks of such fakes identified by another contact of mine. For reference I post again photos with the give away flaws highlighted. Obverse: Report this Post to the Staff

marz Valued Member United Kingdom 116 Posts	Posted 07/11/2013 9:42 pm If the buyer was genuine I feel sorry for them... 950 Euros is a lot to lose for most people ebay should revert to showing bidder ID's again, surely that protects buyers better and creates greater trust in the marketplace?

wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 07/11/2013 10:15 pm Do you think the "arrow" edge letters is another prominent feature to classify it fake? Can anyone answer this question? Henry Report this Post to the Staff
