Here is one of the latest buffalo nickel counterfeits from china I actually bought this directly from them.
Really a good job, especially the all important date. But note that it is not going to fool anyone as they paired it with a
type one raise ground reverse!! I think koynequest has one of these too. In the past all Chineese counterfeits used a type
two reverse. They were all over eBay in the first decade of this current century.

That's not even close to looking real.

And it's the super-rare type 1 reverse mule to boot!
Thanks for posting that for our review.... Probably can fool new collectors though...Obvious to those experienced with Buffalo nickels. Cheers, RickO
Real bogus looking
That is "Sad" some unknowing person would think he hit the "Jackpot" with that one.
Thankfully they're not knowledgeable enough to know it's not a doubled date only or are really hoping not many others know.
Good share buffnix.
The pox on the counterfeiters. Peace Roy

Last night I just came across another 1916 doubled die counterfeit I have and it is more deceptive than the type one reverse pictured above. Here it is and with the proper reverse. I could see some coin dealer at a flea market playing dumb and
getting a couple of hundred bucks for this from a novice collector. This might not look that deceptive to the experience collector but to someone with a lot less experience it could be a problem. This was supposed to have the word COPY on
the reverse.

Like I said previously: The problem is not who makes the coin, but more with who SELLS it.
