pfrien Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 04/24/2014 5:43 pm This seller from Canada is selling Mexico Fantasy gold plated coins 1865 as if they are real gold coins. He did not adequately describe the following coin. It is gold plated. He is also passing this off as a gold coin. Someone is willing to pay over $20 for it. Buyer beware or misleading?

AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 04/24/2014 8:47 pm I have often wondered about taking one of my date set of pennies and gold plating them... I told one guy at my LCS said he would buy one... I thought about even seeing what kind of price one would fetch on the bay... Guess you're not supposed to sell plated pennies?

pfrien Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 04/24/2014 11:37 pm I contacted the seller and he says "he will let the buyers know". He should remove all his supposed gold items or properly describe them. Thank you zxcccxz for reporting the seller. Unfortunately his fake gold Mexico coins are still listed - Mexico never issued gold coins in 1865. Report this Post to the Staff

wandering Valued Member Canada 161 Posts	Posted 04/25/2014 5:47 pm Well, because Canada didn't issue such gold coin, so with not too much searching people can find it's just a gold plated one. Report this Post to the Staff
