ha ha I seen that this morning, I questioned it too, but realised its just a crappy coin, with a crappy pic. I would still bid on it if it goes less than $10, if it is a forgery it would still be neat at a cheap price. (but that wont happen) I expect to see it hit $30 easy.

Fake. GUARANTEED CAST. I had two at one stage & gave one to my wifes grandmother (who was born in 1937). I wrote up a nice little letter about counterfeiters back in the day. I brought mine more than five years ago. They went into my cast, Manders and Twible, date-altered & preferabally non-Chinese copy collection.

Yep, it's a cast fake. The "die crack" looks more like a crack in the coin itself, caused by uneven cooling in the casting mould.

Has anyone pointed this out to the seller?
They have a fairly high number of 100% positive feedback and say they offer a guarantee that coins are genuine.

The "die crack" doesn't go through the "M".

I used to do this,but after you get abused & just completely ignored on the majority of your messages you soon realise it is a waste of your time,so I don't bother anymore. Can everybody please report this item ? I did lastnight. |

I put a cheap bid on it just because id like it as a fake. I doubt I will win at $10.00 but if I do I'm happy to fork out. Chances are people wont realise and it will go for standard 1937 crown price.

That is a very very crude attempt at a fake.
