    Beware of the fake HOF coins. With such demand it was only a matter of time before fakes arrived.

    Do they fake the OGP? Guess that wouldn't be too hard to do. Real creeps.........

    If by garage you mean Chinese sweatshop... and by some guy you mean tons of borderline slave-labor Chinese workers...

    GREAT!!!!!! Now, hopefully, I can get mine from the US Mint that I ordered over 1 month ago. I sure hope the Mint paid extra for express shipping, I am getting tired of waiting for my orders. I need some HOF or I am going to go suffocate myself in my US Mint bags!:arghh::banghead::bigtears::blackeye::depressed::facepalm::grumpy::inpain::rage::dead:

    Talk about scraping the bottom of the bottle, in terms of forgery. Ugggh, why waste one's time making a fake of a coin that ugly.

    Because they are selling for over $1,200 raw? Seems like a decent reason to me

    Anybody who spends over $1200 raw for a HOF coin deserves what he/she gets--there are foolish collectors out there.

    I won't argue with that at all. I bought 2 gold from the mint and am enjoying the profit. But this is a good reason for the counterfeiters to make them.

    What do you expect, it's a map from China, its probably a fake too.

    And to think the parent company Alibaba is getting ready to do an IPO and be publicly traded on our stock exchange.
