[QUOTE="Pandacollector, post: 944877, member: 26583"]Here is a photo of a counterfeit 2010 1 oz. silver Panda next to a real one. The genuine coin is on the right. [IMG]http://www.pandacollector.com/2010-10y-ag-comp-small.jpg[/IMG] Notice (1) how high up the Yuan symbol on the counterfeit is, (2) the textures in the fur and (3) the uneven spacing between the letters of the counterfeit. I've started a web page, [URL]http://www.pandacollector.com/rogue.html[/URL], to help collectors identify counterfeit Panda coins. It shows photos of fakes next to genuine coins like the one above. [B]This information is particularly timely because there is one eBay member who has sold more than 300 counterfeit coins and silver bars in the last couple of weeks. eBay has failed to take action against this fraud despite emails and calls from numerous collectors and dealers.[/B] Panda fakes are not hard to spot when you know what to look for—they tend to be not very well made.
