    It's counterfeit of a British Trade Dollar.

    There really should be a special place in hell for these Chinese counterfeiters. image They make me puke.

    Here is an example of a genuine piece.

    The sad thing is that if the "native" born Americans worked half as hard as the Asians I know, the country wouldn't be in the mess it's in.

    Not that it matters, since it's a fakie...

  • One weird little thought
    when seeing this piece is why the Secret Service and the Justice Department do not investigate Ebay
    for their part in importing counterfeit money into the United States? Just a thoughtimage
    Ebay has been warned by many people even some of our own board members that certain auctions are counterfeit
    yet they still let the auction go through with no warning to the buyers and they collect the fees. which to me means they are profiting from the import of counterfeit currency.
    Then again I may be missing a number of major points that make it legal I am far from being a lawyer. image

    Sorry I don't collect very many foreign coins. I don't know what is up or down with this stuff.

    I took the photo using the coin turn. I guess it's a medal turn. image
