Normic67 Pillar of the Community 798 Posts	Posted 04/30/2015 11:05 pm Because I got that feeling. You should counter stamp "Copy" on it just to make things better. Things like that sometimes don't get made to rip people off lots of money but are just made to be owned by someone who like most of us will never own the real one. Report this Post to the Staff

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 2:54 pm I believe counterfeits are illegal to own, stamped or not. Report this Post to the Staff
nelson9225 Valued Member 270 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 9:01 pm you may believe there wrong to own stamped or not, but I find it interesting. and a piece of art. there are so many fakes out there you would have to eradicate half the coins out there. LOL rest assured it would never be bartered. if you look back at our Canadian history a lot of our 1800 coins are counterfeits. do Tiffins ring a bell Report this Post to the Staff
