BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 11/16/2016 09:30 am Some years ago, a counterfeiter in China was selling made to order phonies on ebay. He sent me perhaps 16 samples of various type crowns, some extra large to handle his advertising. Most had reeded edges and looked like real silver. Here is one next to a US quarter. Sadly, the color on it gives it away. Bill Report this Post to the Staff

BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 11/16/2016 2:53 pm Thanks, guys. You are quite right, of course. BTW, here is another, better one - The color is SILVER, not the washed-out brown that shows here. (Sorry about that). Report this Post to the Staff
