maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2121 Posts	Posted 01/11/2013 4:17 pm I feel bad about calling coins into doubt and only do so when I am quite convinced. Study have studied fakes for years and sometimes I can see a die and alarm bells go off. Martin Report this Post to the Staff

Great job bringing this to our attention! Sorta a bummer--but I think a vcoins dealer will honor their guarantee. Edited by DVCollector 01/11/2013 4:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Eng5858 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 01/11/2013 4:22 pm If this is the worst fake coin I get its ok, I usually buy when I know its a fake, only paid $35 so it will go in my fake Ancient coin pile, 1st one, I will contact the seller and let him know. I do collect fake U.S. Silver coins, its all good.. Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/11/2013 5:09 pm Unlucky Eng - a learning experience for us all though, everybody at some point picks a fake up, at least you now know the truth, hopefully your seller will do something by way of recompense even if you want to keep the coin.

Eng5858 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 01/11/2013 5:30 pm Thanks Martin, I feel better knowing that I have something fake... I new it was a matter of time before I would end up with one,(fake) nice to know you have our back.. . I don't buy off ebay, only vcoin's, which I thought I would be safe... I'm going to soak it for a while and try to get some of that patina off. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/11/2013 7:46 pm Bummer, John. I hate it when this happens. Martin, you shouldn't feel bad when you see something wrong. One of the reasons for posting some new purchases is for members to help ID fakes. Good nose! Report this Post to the Staff
