http://www.ebay.com/itm/Germany-176...118309?hash=item3615b06f25:g:dHYAAOSw3utY4u~y Saw this listing on FeeBay and was almost tempted to bid. I know you are not supposed to ever buy coins from china, but this is pretty convincing. Does anyone spot anything off about it?
Yeah I looked at the sellers past sales for the last 15 days and he has made quite a few large sales $100+ which makes me wonder if it is real.
If you don't mind the hassle, it's always good to check one of these out in hand to train your eye in spotting fakes
Meaning that, of all the people in the world who are interested in this sort of coin and have access to eBay, there were not two people who thought this was genuine. (There could have been one, with nobody bidding against him.)
Sadly all of these fakes are going to end up here in the U.S. and there will always be a few people who will try to push them off on honest people. I got two silver dollars from Canada that turned out fake. I didn't spend much but it still makes me want to call in South Park and start a little invasion. Sadly no one seems to be busting them so they are making tons of money on these things and will keep it up.
