JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 10/22/2016 12:29 pm No thinking about it. It's 100% counterfeit.+ There are 3 easy to see markers on it. Nice catch. Ended by seller. Edited by JimmyD 10/22/2016 12:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dennman Valued Member Canada 496 Posts	Posted 10/22/2016 2:29 pm JimmyD,what are those 3 easy markers? I was born in 1948 and though I can't afford even the lowest grade,I'd like to know what to look for on a fake. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 10/22/2016 3:16 pm Dennman- The number one way to tell is that the initials "EH" are missing below the canoe. Also the number "8" is way off. The second "L" in Dollar has a much thicker base. There are also discrepansies on the Obverse but these are the easiest to recognize. Counterfeit Genuine Report this Post to the Staff

Talonbat Valued Member Canada 395 Posts	Posted 10/29/2016 10:23 pm Were these two also counterfeit that sold? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1950-ARNPRIO...172370504389 http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1946-SWL-CAN...142083734015 I don't see the EH. Is this seller known for mixing in counterfeits with real coins? Report this Post to the Staff
thrustie Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 10/29/2016 10:52 pm Those 2 appear to be genuine Talon. This is the first straight conterfeit I have seen this seller list; not saying it is the only though as this seller often uses very deceiving photos in their listing and has a no returns policy. I bought from them once and never again. Another huge red flag to me is his last auction for a 1947 ML Canada Dollar graded MS65 by NNC. This coin was clearly no where near a MS65 and to list and repesent it as that and no returns to boot says a lot about a seller to me.
