Fake Coins
 
2 Attachment(s)
I ordered a replica "coin" from china to see what it would be like. The eBay picture clearly showed "replica" stamped on the "coin", but when the "coin" arrived, there was no replica. The "coin" I bought was a German Neu Guinea 5 marks which is a very valuable coin. They also sell lots of silver U.S dolars as well as plenty of other "coins" from other countries.

This leads me to think that a lot of people are getting fooled and ripped off with these fakes! Attached is a photo of the "coin" I received.

They need to work on the rim. The rest of the coin looks real but the rim is very inconsistent.
