awildeheart Valued Member Australia 295 Posts	Posted 04/14/2012 08:06 am Maybe this ebay seller didn't know they were fake? I joined this forum last night to hopefully find out about a few coins I have and learn more in general, but up until joining last night, I had no idea people were purposefully damaging coins etc. Had I not found out about this being a common thing, I could have easily made the same mistake putting a coin I have on ebay but with absolutely no intention of ripping anyone off. My coin is an Aussie five cent coin that (up until now) I thought had been issued on an overseas planchet as it is the same size, but thinner and a different metal. Once I know how to photograph coins better I'll post it here to get everyone's feedback. Report this Post to the Staff

appleangel07 Pillar of the Community Australia 1607 Posts	Posted 04/15/2012 09:33 am The 10 cent looks to me to have been stood on it's edge & tapped all the way round,to make the coin smaller & deepen the rims,someone got ripped off for $43 on it in any case. Report this Post to the Staff
