coingirl Previously Ousted Canada 398 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 5:27 pm Ok fellows.. the seller finally got back to me... he agreed that the coin has been dipped and maybe also slightly polished He does not think it is a fake, as he received it 8 years ago from a then very old old collector who apparently had it for many years. I will now not buy the coin. Thank you all for your input Report this Post to the Staff
MrCanada Pillar of the Community Canada 650 Posts	Posted 03/31/2012 11:22 pm Nice coins, the subject coin I find suspicious, but I am not to familiar with some varieties ,but the hair by the ear is strange. All the others in your picks and a quick look at charltons, the hair by the ear curls back away from the ear. On this coin it points straight down. ? Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 12:37 pm @ coincollect1,you were looking in the right place to start.As a rule recent Canadian fakes are clones of genuine coins,only the date is changed to mislead the innocent.For example the fakers will take an 1898 50cent,clone it and change only the date and mintmark to suit their market.If the date font,size or spacing doesn't match any known coins then the odds are great the coin is a fake.
