[QUOTE="SPP Ottawa, post: 1824563, member: 39508"]I hope you can get out of this auction and cancel your bid. That is a made-in-China counterfeit coin. Sorry I did not post earlier, I was waiting to get confirmation from Mike Marshall, who has been combatting Canadian and NFLD counterfeit coins on eBay for a number of years. The bridge of the nose and truncation of the jaw to neck were the big red flags to me, combined with a general flatness of the fields. I have reported the item to eBay, which I hope helps. If you are going to dive into NFLD and Canadian coins in a serious way, then a definite must is knowing how to identify the counterfeits that are out there. Contact this eBay seller, for the latest image library of Canadian and NFLD counterfeit coins.
