Just felt I should point out this garbage

 

It probably comes from the Nigerian prince you've been waiting for

 

But, But it's Iron plated Gold!!

 

Every coin on wish is fake. Even the fake coins.

 

But then again it might be fake gold or even monkey metal

 

I have only purchased US gold and feel I am competent identifying a fake US gold. I don't know that I have ever had a Krugerrand in hand and wouldn’t know a fake from the real thing. What are the tip offs?

 

I just might be ordering me one of those.

 

I'm sorry, but that "AD" for the Fisch made me laugh. Any coin collector worth their salt would have a scale and caliper to come to the same conclusion and wouldn't have to spend money buying a Fisch for each size coin they ran across.
I'm pretty sure that @Randy Abercrombie was referring to the obvious signs in the design that might appear and not just the weigh and diameter, but I could be wrong and I'm sure someone will correct me if so.

 

I'll keep this in mind the next time I'm looking for a $5 Krugerrand.

 

Yes, the fact that it was priced at $5, stated as 'replica' and as gold plated iron should have should rand a few alarm bells
