Caffeine dude, I wouldn't know a British Trade dollar from the Beatles, so what clues you into this one being fake? Jim  |

That is pretty cool. I haven't seen one of those before, it must be insanely valuable.  |

I've never seen these either, so I have no experience. Still, I note the border design on the obverse is more boldly cut than on the reverse...would a discrepancy like that originate on a genuine coin from the UK? I really don't know.  Edited by KurtS

To me, the cape is what gives it away. The British Trade dollars were graceful figures of Britannia on the front- that one is so blocky and ugly. The cape should be graceful and flowing, this one looks like a first grade school child drew it with those huge crayons. o.o |

Hi Jim, I guess I should have posted a link with what a real one looks like - these are some I bought in China: https://goccf.com/t/20867Also if you check the community photo albums you'll see some better pics of ones gxseries has. Beyond that I thought the really shoddy work on the one currently on ebay would give itself away. The next level down would be stick figures I guess. Hope this helps! |

After looking at the Fake and the Real ones side by side, the Fake one is Horrible, You'd think that there would have been some sort of effort in the creation. I like that the forger added Madonna's Bra though!
