GPC989 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 07/02/2015 12:53 pm Hi, I recently bought this coin on ebay but I'm unsure if this coin is counterfeit or genuine due to reports online saying the grading company for this coin is fishy so I would like to hear the opinion of some of the members from this site. Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff

X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 07/02/2015 1:03 pm Honestly, I think the coin is genuine, judging by the toning, colour and surface of the coin. I don't know anything about the slabber, but for the sake of legitimacy I don't think they help. Regardless, I think your anquisition is the real deal Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/02/2015 4:41 pm I agree that it appears authentic, although it is tough to tell viewed through the slab. Who is the TPG? Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 12:11 am Vote of no confidence - this particular coin is heavily counterfeit and recently very high quality counterfeit has appeared in the market. This is a coin that is easily worth more than 2000+ dollars in UNC condition. I would recommend you to send this to either NGC or PCGS to confirm the authenticity.

Sap Moderator Australia 16831 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 03:39 am Sorry, but the new pictures make me even more confident - it's a fake. The pieces of the lowermost sunbeam do not line up like they are supposed to, the tip is too close to the "yuan" symbol and the detail in the ocean waves is wrong. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 07/05/2015 6:04 pm That is a VERY nice looking forgery. I need to get one and free it from its plastic coffin. Report this Post to the Staff
wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 07/06/2015 12:52 am I don't have this piece. Who can provide a real piece or pictures for comparison before saying that it is fake? I just want to know more about this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 07/06/2015 03:37 am Bob - I think that was sold for around 800 dollars. Very expensive as a 'study piece'. Wonghinghi - I believe a lot of major auction catalog should have records of it.
