1867 Hong Kong Dollar Fakes

VTCoins

I am going to look at one today.

Are there a lot of fakes of these?

If so, what should I look for?

Thanks!

Yes, 1866 and 1867 are commonly counterfeited. Look for a particularly weak strike on the obverse and crude lettering on the reverse.

look for the little stamp that says "made in Taiwan"

I saw tons of fakes in Hong Kong, Zui Hai and Shenzin while I was working in Macau! It's usually easy to tell just by the weight of the copies! And csting lines can be a dead givaway also!

Thanks for the help!

I bought the coin. It looks good to me.
