<p>[QUOTE="john59, post: 2138069, member: 73760"]All the ones that I have seen now are struck coins, not cast. They're even making them out of silver ect. The right weight, the right size. The slabs are being faked exactly. As for EBay you have to check every coin. I don't care if the seller has a million feedbacks or zero. I don't have the pictures right now but I have a real Brazil 1900 discovery set. The 4000 R is the rare one. I have 17 different fakes each one with a different characteristic. I purchased them as fakes, cost me $2 to $20 each. Out of the 17 I would say 15 of them would pass as real. Even to a seasoned collector. I think the only ones who could help a lot are the ANA. To some extent I wish EBay would have left them selling the fakes. At least you would have an up on them because you know what they look like. I think they're selling more than ever and they're right back on EBay. What are they listed now as? Fantasy coins or tokens?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
