Ok ... I'll bite ...

Some of the coins listed seem pretty nice ... but ... I'm wondering if this would happen to be yet another Chinese scammer.

    At least some appear to be fakes.

    See the Baden 5-mark ... note the folded metal at the rim (reverse, 6:00)

    I've seen irregularities like that on real coins. Which doesn't mean I' saying this one is real or fake- I really don't know. The coins this seller has would fool me, if they're fakes. The ones I bothered to click on all looked real to me, though some had been cleaned.

    Anybody else spot any other red flags? Besides the fact that the seller is located in China?
