Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/02/2015 1:38 pm As much as the seller is up front that these are modern forgeries (his benign term is "replica"), since they're not themselves so marked, they'll surely end up polluting the hobby all over the planet. What astounds me is the variety available, many issues that you might not suspect are being faked.

alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 08/02/2015 4:56 pm You may as well add this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/elmash201....m1543.l2654 On a well known Chinese site (@#$ &%&% and the 40 thieves) fakes of many collectables coins are openly for sale. We are fighting a losing battle I fear. Report this Post to the Staff

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 08/03/2015 01:12 am The ones in this thread are Eastern European copies. They have a certain appearance to them and are usually sold openly as replicas because they are not as deceiving as the ones coming out of China now. Report this Post to the Staff

Interesting then that they were being sold out of Hong Kong. Yet the seller is identified as a member since 2001 located in Russia, and even has a picture ostensibly of himself posted. Possibly a hijacked account? Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 08/03/2015 09:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 08/03/2015 11:29 pm I don't think so. It makes sense for someone looking to sell copies as copies to put the location as Hong Kong. This is where people know they can go to find such a product, and Hong Kong is widely preferred over Russia when it comes to the "shipped from" location. Report this Post to the Staff
