no lie
i just don't like the looks of these

have you weighed these?
measured them?
gave them a ring test?
tested specific gravity?

Their caps blew off.

Eh sorry mis-titled. This is the 1806 I posted a few weeks back that everyone thought was genuine. Now paired up with the other fakes similarities quite come to light.

Love the "No Stem" 1802 and 1803 varieties...

Those things are hilarious (in a bad way). I love how the counterfeiters in 上海市 spent all of their time making the dates razor sharp, while adjacent features are flat. Cartoonish for sure.

The counterfeiters aren't smart enough to try a different look? These are all the same grade, same detail, with the same type of toning, with a nearly identical look. The lack of authenticity surely stands out when you see how similar all 3 coins are. Good thing these guys still haven't figured out to make legitimate looking date digits.

We could call these the "Osburns" as they all have that Ozzie eye shadow falling off the right eye. Or maybe the "KISS" coins in honor of Gene Simmons?

Agreed.

How did you acquire them? Just curious.

Does anyone else see that a date logotype was used on these? The coins are all rotated slightly differently so it doesn't jump out, but the 180 all appear the same to my eyes.

Any one else pick up on that?

I thin if you go back to that thread, you will notice my post stated that I expected it to be a counterfeit, and yes I did not have the popular opinion.

I'm more afraid of the surfaces than I am of the last digit of the date or the missing stem reverse being wrong
