This very fake was discussed at length yesterday at the ONA. I will post images here if anyone is interested. This one baffled most. Made front page of CCN. Cand promised education......not so much was done. MM Edited by nickelsguy 04/14/2019 4:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 04/14/2019 10:18 pm based on the "sandy" textures of the rims alone compared to the rest pof the details, should make anyone question authenticity. they are getting better for sure, but not fooling anyone just yet. thanks for your efforts MM Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 04/14/2019 10:49 pm Thanks for the pics. I see one very obvious marker which distinguishes this from the real deal. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 04/15/2019 6:13 pm Dave and Jim you are both more than welcome. I am at a disadvantage Dave as to the obvious marker as I do not collect these? Wade, the finish is very good in hand. I washed off the antiquing agent after I took these images and the finish is much better. Report this Post to the Staff
Alan Pillar of the Community Canada 1463 Posts	Posted 04/15/2019 6:41 pm Thank you for posting this. This would be so frustrating to buy and find out its fake. Would make non experienced collectors possibly give up. Report this Post to the Staff

yarm Valued Member United States 343 Posts	Posted 04/20/2019 11:02 pm "they are getting better for sure, but not fooling anyone just yet." Is it clear that such pieces are modern rather than contemporary fakes? Report this Post to the Staff
