Watch out for these 1922 Peace Dollar counterfeits.

I've seen a handful of counterfeits on ebay recently with a "chip" above "PEACE" on the reverse. I almost got burned on one.

Thanks for the warning.

The texture seems off on these, especially on the rim.

 

It's wild that they are counterfeiting the most common date! A lesson for any collector to always check every coin!

 

The Crimeese are getting exceptionally close to the real thing, the Red Flag is up!

 

When you zoom in, it seems that the entire surface of the coin has an odd "texture".

 

Wonder what the weight and dimensions would turn out to be? I've gotten fakes of common silver that were underweight, and others that were of accurate weight but about 10% thicker than expected - those were silver-plated copper, thicker to make up for copper's lower density.

 

Yes, the surfaces have spongy look, and the details are fuzzy. It’s like a “circulated, Mint State coin.

 

I hate to stomp on someone else's thread but since we are talking fakes..........

More than 10 available, 63 sold! WTF? Buy it now, $31.47, free shipping! I guess this follows eBay's criteria?

Could be ripped off stock photos from other listings, maybe the experts can spot the fake. But common sense screams this is a scam.

 

The coin looks genuine to me. I think it's a stolen image. Maybe from Denver Coin Co.?

 

The listing and surrounding details indicate scam. Avoid, of course.

I honestly don't see anything wrong with the picture, though... it looks perfectly fine. Couple with the other evidence that probably means its a stolen image.

 

If there are more than 10 available, unless the photo shows at least 10 that all look like that, that is not the coin you'll be getting.

I'm more than half tempted to order one, just to make the seller and/or eBay eat the cost of shipping and whatever pennies the fake I'd get cost them.
