<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 960401, member: 16994&quot;]Alright guys, </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of you were able to nail this one on the head. #4 is the only genuine coin in this picture. The rest of the coins were ordered from China on EBay. They are brass that has been plated. The weight of these coins are about half of what they should be. The thing that really astounded me was the color they were able to achieve. Usually gold plated items are easily identified by their color... these are really close to genuine pieces. </p><p><br /></p><p>These things could be dangerous to people who don&#039;t know gold in hand never mind a picture on the internet. I hope this has opened a couple of eyes at least to the problems our hobby faces today from the importation of counterfeit coins through such sites as EBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]91190.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
