1883 Hawaiian Counterfeits

Howdy fellow coin peeps,

I've been concerned lately over the influx of 1883 Hawaiian coins on Ebay and I just found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Replica-1883-HA...goryZ786QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

While that won't pass as authentic, it proves the Chinese have made dies to reproduce this highly collectable series so beware if you purchase these on Ebay, chances are good they are unmarked counterfeits/replicas.

Ps: There are several denominations so be very careful when buying any of them, including the Cent.

Good advice. Most of the raw ones on eBay are fakes.

 

Thanks for the heads up Toad , the Chinese are getting too good .
