<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3003903, member: 19463"]The OP pair are certainly both fakes <u>unless</u> they are the same coin. They are not the same die as the Forvm fake so it has no bearing. It is quite possible that the eBay photo was used for a crooked sale or by accident and it showed your coin before you (or the dealer you bought it from) had it. I would not destroy the coin until I had some evidence that the current eBay seller actually has that coin. I would give the VCoin dealer a chance to explain and refund whether or not he wants the coin back or expertised at his expense. Under the circumstances he might refund and tell you to keep it. It then could be shown around and save future owners of the same copies from falling victim to other copies. If there are two, there will be three and four and more show up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
