My First Countertfeit Lesson Learned

Stew

I got took by my first counterfeit coin
In many years of collecting
I did not get out side the area of my focus of collecting
and it kept me from such troubles. Well,I will not make that mistake again
I also had it pointed out to me by a very knowledgeable gentleman
on e-bay. That saved me much more head aches than just being burned
by the person I purchased it from. Boy did I appreciate that.
Here are some pictures of it for people to learn from my mistake.
Be Careful out there

Thanks for the heads up , i don't know the series but going by the photos that coin wouldn't pass muster.

I haven't had one of these in years but the surface texture is all wrong. Counterfeiters often have trouble getting texture and luster correct even when the details look pretty good. It's a flaw often found in fake modern Chinese coins.

Best wishes,
