GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 11/22/2007 10:32 pm Not sure about this one as I can't seem to find it in Krause. It doesn't "look" real either. Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 11/22/2007 11:22 pm Wow! He has the same picture of that coin listed 20 times as well as some fake Cali gold. And he's gettin about 20 bucks a pop on average. Can't believe I haven't heard of this guy until now. Sad thing is....there are no negs about being fake coins....quite strange Report this Post to the Staff
ichirensha Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 11/23/2007 2:58 pm Stupid me impulsively bid on one and unfortunately won it before investigating. I don't see how this guy could possibly have this many legitimate gold coins, all with the same dates. Some people paid more than $50 for theirs, some paid only one cent plus shipping. My mistake may cost $12-$16. Report this Post to the Staff
snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 11/23/2007 3:10 pm I believe that these are small 11mm 10 karat replica coins. Here is a similar auction from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...WA:IT&ih=002 I reported this guy for deceptive advertising, but they didn't do anything. Report this Post to the Staff
Learjet Pillar of the Community Australia 655 Posts	Posted 11/24/2007 10:32 pm They are actually Maximilian gold tokens, made in England between 1987 and 1991. Most of them are 9k gold (about a third) and were made for the jewelry trade. There are many varieties and some people find fun in collecting them. More info here. http://www.zgold.com/england.htm Report this Post to the Staff
