Featured Modern counterfeit world coins... train your eyes, get your game up

That said, chopmarked coins mean nothing these days with such counterfeit. Please feel free to check this link: https://registry.ngccoin.hk/news/article/3844/world-coins-china-1905-kirin-dollar/

Here's another seller to avoid. Note that this is getting a lot tricker. Sellers these days do not necessary target pricy crown size coins as buyers are getting wary of getting burnt out on such counterfeits. Smaller denomination coins are getting counterfeited as well.

We've had minimal to no success getting these listing removed when reported as counterfeit goods or replica coins/currency. I wonder if anyone tried reporting them as shill bidding? It definitely is a tactic they use with their listings, depending on how the accounts are made on the back end, there may be some evidence to prove it to eBay.
I'm going to give it a try.

 

Now this is not coins but here's something that is related to counterfeits.

And that's just handbags alone. Chances of law enforcement doing something about numismatics? I wouldn't hold my breath.

I wouldn't be too surprised if some sellers are doing exactly the same way.

Back for another round.

The only bright side is that the prices are getting down towards the range of what you would expect to pay for a high quality silver replica. Not long ago these would have gone for hundreds of dollars each. And this is likely with the usual shill bidding, so many of them may not have actually sold to a legitimate buyer.
