Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 07/10/2025 8:35 pm @mojo, I loved your comment about Highlights Magazine. Another (of many) differences between the fake and real designs is where that third sun ray crosses the L of LIBERTY.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96124 Posts	Posted 07/10/2025 9:01 pm yep, that is just one more of many Spence. (I knew it would be fake before I looked at it just simply due to the timing of the delivery - 3 weeks before the Mint release). anyway, I got on the phone with ebay, and instead of waiting "for the seller to respond" time frame, I got my refund immediately.. So now back to shopping for a real one.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Because China would like nothing better then to see the US monetary system collapse - so they could fill the gap. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7034 Posts	Posted 07/11/2025 10:47 am Can't say if I would have laughed or cried first when seeing this "coin" Such a bad and comical copy...I'm sure it passed the Ping test ( Mr. Ping plant manager) Glad to see ebay is doing the right thing.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96124 Posts	Posted 07/11/2025 2:14 pm yes ebay was on it this time - already have my money in my bank account. Before I called them up, I filed a return request first with LOTS of pictures. Then during the phone call they ( ebay) looked up my return request and used that info and pictures to make a super quick determination and refunded me on the spot. Collecting since 1972.

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5613 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 11:55 am Sorry John, @ Mojo, The Highlights topic reminds me of going to the dentist's offices and seeing that magazine, I Too would get excited and Hunt for The " differences ". The usual problem that followed picking up one of those magazines, Someone circled All The differences............... Did anyone ever receive The Highlights magazine to their Homes?

The presented pictures shown of the Fake is Quite Hastily/Poorly produced too.... Report this Post to the Staff
carlp007 Valued Member United States 476 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 01:14 am Wow, that sucks, terrible fake and it's not even a proof. Have you already ordered one from the Mint. As of 7-14-25 12:13 AM, the Mint website showed they are still available. I am waiting for the HHL to increase to snag another one. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96124 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 07:15 am yep it sure is - but I knew it would be a fake before I even had a look at it. After all it arrived 3 weeks before the mint released it.. and yes, not even close to a proof - I was waiting to see if someone would call that out.. And Because of a glitch in the Mint system, I cannot buy one directly from the mint because on the first day of the pre-sale I bought one but then it was denied, but their 'system' flagged me as getting one. so unless they increase the HHL, I'm out of luck.

Do you not have a friend or neighbor you can send it to? For HHL of 1, I occasionally do this myself if there is something worth doing. Report this Post to the Staff
