This coin is "GENUINE"

Just to show that stretching the truth is not confined to ebay http://www.trademe.co.nz/Antiques-collectables/Coins/USA/auction-102571646.htm

Let's see, according to coinfacts, only 66 1861 proofs were minted, and yet the seller has a buy it now price of $2,500.

I guess they meant to say "This coin is genuine GOLD."

 

something off there...

 

I'm shocked.

A New Zealander who lies.

 

That coin looks brand new......oh wait, it is brand new....lol. :headbang:

 

John,that is definitely a dud that you've posted a link to.I wouldn't be too surprised if it is a production from one of the coin forging factories in Commie China.They're very corrupt over there.

Aidan.

 

I didn't know New Zealand made coins in 1861.

 

wouldnt something like that be sold at auction?

 

The person has changed the photos since last night but the obverse doesnt appear to be the same coin as the reverse. It sure isnt a proof coin.

 

Just my luck. I'm strapped for cash!
I ALWAYS want to buy real shiny coins!

 

Dan,you'd be better off buying some nice 1/10 Krugerrands from South Africa,or some nice gold Sovereigns from the Dominion of Canada.

That is coming from a British Commonwealth numismatist's perspective.

Aidan.

 

Or some 1/10 th oz and 1/4 oz AGE 1988 or 1991..but I agree with Aidan..stay away from that one!!

Aidan and RickieB,

I certainly hope that you noticed my post was dripping with sarcasm. Damn stuff's all over my screen now!

 

How strange. The person selling this coin has dropped the reserve and buy now prices to $1500 and $1600

 

John,there's one word that is very appropriate for that scammer - wanker!

Aidan.

 

Have no idea where Aidan got the idea it's coming from China. Appearently the picture is changed. Could easily be a reproduction coin like these ones here: http://koinpro.tripod.com/Repros.htm If you notice, they seem to be two different "coins" this time. Wouldnt' be too suprised if the "copy" side was avoided.

 

Gxseries,China IS the forgery capital of the world anyway.

Aidan.

 

I tried to register to ask him a question, but it takes $10.00 to join. I was gonna ask him what the GOLD content of the coin is. LOL

swick

 

Nice try swick lol. but this person wouldnt answer anyway

 

He now claims that it is slabbed and he got the values from an american coin dealer LOL
