<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jack D. Young, post: 26245517, member: 93371&quot;]I have actually written 4 published articles on this group of deceptive fakes going back to the 1st we saw back in 2015. The following image is from my 2nd (updated) EAC Penny-Wise article when I found there were actually 2 die states for the counterfeit/ false dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1676415[/ATTACH] In this article I noted 14 different documented example with 6 being in genuine TPG holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>And now there are 16 thanks to eBay this month...</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1st is raw and purchased from a seller who collects Chinese coins. I explained it is counterfeit after he accepted my offer. He later told me he got it from a &quot;cleaning lady&quot; who cleaned out the basement of a coin shop in Boston that had gone out of business. I circled 4 main reverse atts for these in the image:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1676416[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This made 6 in my collection alone.</p><p><br /></p><p>But wait, there&#039;s more<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />!</p><p><br /></p><p>A week later this one shows up:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1676417[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, seller ended after our discussion. We negotiated a price and it should be in-hand tomorrow. It is the nicest of any in my collection but counterfeit all the same. And the 2nd die state where they tried to repair the cut in the die over &quot;A&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1676418[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1676419[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The TPG was notified and the on-line cert amended; the original owner Dealer from whatnot was also informed. And I have written now my 5th article on these.</p><p><br /></p><p>These just seem to be the gift that keeps on giving...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1676420[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Best, Jack.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
