Fake Trade Dollar ?

I'm 99.9999999% sure that this is a fake coin, what's your opinion?

I think it is also fake. Especially since you can get multiple coins of the type.

 

I'd say the odds of it being fake are very high.

But, I can't see the coin so I can't be 100% sure.

 

Any coin in a Chinese slab and not NGC, PCGS or ANACS holder, ESPECIALLY a Trade Dollar is not worth a second look. If I can't research it, I won't touch it. This is a newbie fiasco waiting to happen. IMHO.

 

It is from China, so why not 100% sure

 

Here's another one that just sold, worked its way up to $7.00 after 16 bids. The description included this line:

I should say so. I'd skip the tuition part, though.

 

Love the TPG and multiple quantities available; we'll see how long the listing (and some of his others) are active on the "Bay" (actually has 11 bad postings currently)...

 

Agreed with other posters regarding the illegitimacy of Chinese slabs. I would also add a note of caution about fake PCGS and NGC slabs for such coins as well; I seem to remember a post a while back about the proliferation of such scams by unscrupulous Asia-based sellers.

 

eBay removed the whole mess...
