<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 26298894, member: 24091&quot;]Hard to imagine that APMEX didn&#039;t realize this was fake before listing it on eBay.&nbsp; Verify at NGC shows a real 1 Pound coin with the correct dimensions.&nbsp; APMEX had it priced like a 1 Pound coin, but clearly the fake is meant to look like a 5 Pound coin instead.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m wondering if someone thought they were getting a great &quot;deal&quot; on what they assumed was a mechanical error at NGC with the coin incorrectly attributed on the holder.&nbsp; A close inspection of the coin online suggests it isn&#039;t real; the legend under the quadriga looks blobby and not well defined.&nbsp; Reasonably deceptive fake holder though.</p><p><br /></p><p>APMEX has a disclaimer at the bottom of the eBay listing saying &quot;This is not a photo of the actual item. The photos are meant to be an indication of the product you will receive&quot;.&nbsp; Trying to decide if the listing is a result of APMEX incompetence or outright consumer fraud using a digitally altered photograph to suggest the coin is five times bigger than it really is.&nbsp; In either case, it&#039;s unacceptable.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I sent a complaint to NGC.&nbsp; Will be interesting to hear what they have to say about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pic of the real deal at bottom.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1679126[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/116603211979" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/116603211979" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/116603211979</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/3739012-002/63/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/3739012-002/63/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/3739012-002/63/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1679127[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
