bagerap Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Mintage 715,000. Number on ebay this year, probably 716,000.People who've never listed another coin will have room for one of these. There's a jewelry seller who lists three at a time.Every time. Quote
azda Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) If you read his auction, he says in there:Any Claims that the item is not authentic Must be sent in writing in 14 days.Why write that in the 1st Place if he thought the coin was original? Looks like something else to watch out forHe's also in Hong Kong Edited December 4, 2012 by azda Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Looking at his feedback, too, plenty of complaints."DO NOT BUY ASIAN COINS!

After all, he has 99.7% Positive Feedback from ebay and we all know how reliable that is.Of course, if it really is 0.925 silver as stated, maybe worth buying?

Hussulo Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Are the Chinese faking these now They'll fake anything that can be sold for a profit. Did anyone read about the fake Apple store? that was a belter. Even the staff thought they were working for Apple. Quote

Hussulo Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 BTW HUS...cant get into your site.The forum? I seem to be having technical difficulties with it again! I'm trying to find out the problem, for some reason its taking ages to load. These sites aren't easy to manage, a real pain in the b*tt sometimes. I'll hopefully have it working again shortly. Thanks Peter. Quote

Hopefully he's been hammered for a few quid. Is there pictures avaliable for download? Those would be handy references Quote

The problem will be more serious if they start using sterling silver for forgeries. Quote
