<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jhinton, post: 1636008, member: 24410&quot;]I agree, it is almost too obvious of a fake, but I already know that it has fooled two people. To the dealers credit, he purchased this as part of a collection that took him from 3:00 in the afternoon until 11:00 that night to inventory and price. He more than likely did not even turn the coin over and just looked at the reverse (figure side) of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is not a contemporary in my opinion but a modern fake. I have seen similar examples before and I have seen the same &quot;eagle&quot; figure on other fake coins. In the markets of Afghanistan, almost every other merchant had some fake crown type coins to include US Philippine pesos. I do not know if these originated in China or Pakistan, but I suspect both produced similar coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
