<p>[QUOTE="Bill in Burl, post: 2546032, member: 23692"]This is a thread from another coin site that starts out with a few obvious fakes, due to the wrong Monarch being on the coin. It then goes into a few more fakes and the investigations that ensued. It ends with a Chinese vendor who is hawking both scarce and common Uncirc or AU coins on Ebay .. and probably the initial source for the fakes being discussed earlier in the thread who have now made it through TPG's and 2 other Ebay sellers. It's frightening how good the fakes are getting, as well as how uneducated some buyers are now and how to not take everything a TPG says as fact.</p><p><a href="http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=271671" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=271671" rel="nofollow">http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=271671</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And here is the "sold" list of the Chinese Ebay seller mentioned on p 8 & 9.
