Did my due diligence, and researched everything I could about counterfeits, and searched ebay for a few weeks for one that was nice looking, and reasonably priced. </p><p><br /></p><p>Came across a raw &#039;77 (P) with a BIN of $99 or so (it was more then $90, but less then $100). Spent over an hour studying the pics, downloaded them, and did overlays with coins from Heritage, etc. Only thing I was worried about was that it was located in Japan, but as the TD was intended to be used in the Orient, I thought it somewhat reasonable for it to be located there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went ahead and bought it. While waiting for a package from Japan, I get a package from Morocco. Hmm, I say to myself. I open it up, and there&#039;s my Trade dollar. But something looks off. Yup, different coin. Nothing genuine about it. After a couple of phone calls, I had my money back, and the seller got the nastiest feedback I&#039;ve ever written in my 18 yrs on ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t save the photos of the coin in the auction (if I did I can&#039;t find them), but here&#039;s the fake -</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]691452[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]691453[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
