This should be enough to ruin your coffee and donut this morning. The most concerning aspect of it is the manufactured wear.

Welcome to my coins Store!
I am a Chinese coin collectors,I have a factory of production coin.
I could provide the best coins and best service for you.
Product Description
All the pictures are taken ourselves. For most coins we sell, we have more than one. After we sold one coin, we relist the same listing and use the same/ So you may not receive the same coin as in the picture, however the coin you’ll receive will be in the same condition or even better in condition as the coin in the picture. The coa No or the coin No will be randomly selected if it is not declared clearly in the description.

OK I'm guessing you guys are concerned about resale, coin doesn't say copy.

Every part of that screams "RUN" to me.

If this is the forgers' mass produced souvenir junk, I'd hate to imagine what they're capable of when they take their time to make something to pass in a real auction.
I kind of wonder if any of them are stepping up from casting to using 3D scanners to create dies?

It is easier to spot the differences when a real one is at hand! Still.. these are good, and this isn't the best example.

Blah blah blah.
<< <i>To continue, perhaps that line of thinking is b.s. inscrutability meant to deceive or apologize for keeping the best for them selves and or just screwing others but really I think most Chinese people in china have been brought up in a cruel society where one does anything to survive. Maybe with their new found wealth and collecting habits/ desires, their ideas will change, but I doubt it as the new wealth is highly concentrated and leaves the majority of people still out in the cold.
Blah blah blah. >>
As an interesting side note from Bloomberg TV a few weeks ago:
The wealthy and upper middle class Chinese were no longer inclined to purchase luxury goods such as Gucci, Tiffany, Coach, etal. in Mainland China, or even Hong Kong anymore, opting instead to purchase them in London, Paris, New York, Dubai, etc. The reason? They feel they're less likely to be duped into purchasing FAKES !!!!
Now that's TOO RICH!
That issue has appeared even in the world of mineral collecting. Mineral specimens from China need to be carefully examined for crystals that have been repaired. The article that I read about this also mentioned that part about spirit.
See this example, at the top right. At first, what looks like a small fracture or flaw turned out, upon closer inspection, a completely snapped off point carefully glued back into place.
DPOTD
But really, historically this is not a new problem, nor is it a uniquely Chinese problem. We may think of it that way now but people having been passing off fake goods as real throughout human history.
Or see this.
