The one in the middle, definitely seems fake, and it's also 180 degre rotated.. What do your guys think of those 3 penny ? Report this Post to the Staff

I hope those Chinese counterfeiters die a " death of a thousand cuts". The factories have to be shut down as they are killing the coin hobby! Report this Post to the Staff
DouglasFir Valued Member Canada 160 Posts	Posted 06/15/2014 3:56 pm If it is fake, which it looks suspicious to me (imo) it's staggering to think of the money they potentially could have spent on the presses,dies, and other equipment to produce these coins. Part of me thinks the factory may even be a legitimate one that has an 'after hours' operation going on as well. And all to make old Canadian Cents? they must be making a lot of other counterfeits as well. Report this Post to the Staff

o-train Pillar of the Community Canada 519 Posts	Posted 06/15/2014 9:21 pm If the colour is right it looks like #1 was dipped in vinegar :(. #2 is counterfeit and #3 is a really nice deep chocolate colour, I like it! Do the edges on #2 look more rounded to anyone else? To me it looks like the edge rounds in, completely different than the other two. The coin itself is slightly smaller and looks thicker with the face having a decreased surface area. Edited by o-train 06/15/2014 9:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
