Looks to have same ding in O in DOLLARS as a counterfeit. At least the auctioneer should help you get your money back from seller if you act quickly with concerns.

Great info and documentation shockergd. Looks to be a conterfeit example in the pic. Do you know if that mark on the O is just found on the 1913 5 dollar conterfeit gold, or are there some 1912 & 1914 5 dollar and 10 dollar conterfeit coins out there?

What is the composition of these counterfeits?
Is there a link to counterfeit designs? I have yet to seriously get into coin collecting because of my fears of counterfeiting. I don't think I am experienced enough to make a purchase like that and avoid being suckered. So far my collecting has been hand-me downs and NCLT's only out of fear of counterfeiting.
I have purchased a few dated coins (nothing expensive) in the past from Colonial Acres, any issues with them? I am interested in getting a gold sovereign (dragonslayer) coin as a birthday gift this year since it is a big year for me and I have always wanted one. Any suggestions of where to get this safely?

The fact that this coin is virtually flawless and I would never have been able to tell it is a counterfeit if I was the one purchasing it makes me not want to collect coins anymore.

The composition of the counterfeit (the image I posted) is .4 gold. The weight and diameter are correct. It hails from North Africa circa 1965 approx. This example now resides with the RCMP travelling fake show.

Mr.nickelsguy, have you ever seen one of these counterfeits in a TPG holder? |

yup, in an NGC holder. But they are too stupid to talk to a Canadian counterfeit guy......unlike PCGS (chortle)

Boy, these fakes are starting to look way too real. I probably would've just bought that coin, if I'd seen it on ebay, not even questioning its authenticity at all. |
