    Hilarious title! It's a scary-good fake, though. The obverse stars are a little off. The star to the left of Liberty's head is a little too large, for example. On the reverse, the positions of the arrow feathers and leaves with respect to the numerals "900" are not quite right. PCGS people take flowers avoid eBay raw Trade dollar and raw gold too purchase.

    I asked him who makes his counterfeits because the workmanship is better than Alibaba's. Maybe he will be flattered and respond.



    Funny that all of his counterfeits are made of "sliver."

    If you've seem more than two real trade dollars in your life that should be enough. The whole thing is off. Prob not even toning but a little brown airbrush paint to try to throw you off.

    Design is off, but that luster and tone is definitely a notch above.
    Watch your confirmation bias, folks. If you pat yourself on the back for recognizing this one because of obvious flaws, you might be less wary of the next one with less obvious flaws.

    Yeah, just what is 'sliver', anyway?



    Not exactly my series, but look at the gown lines across the body. They just scream bogus. There is no need to study the minutia - it is an obvious fake.

    Yes, that one hasn't gotten the usual Chinese toning that makes it appear to be a problem coin, although, of course, it has the ultimate problem. It's a fake.

    It is scary though that they might be going for this look instead of the other toned appearance. The die work is off, but we don't to give them any pointers on the problems.

    Luster looks like it's from an ASE. Blasteroni.



    Except for the "Raging Bull" nose on Miss Liberty, not that bad a fake.

    Several other dozen fakes as well from 19th/early 20th century British, Chinese, Japanese, etc. Covering lots of bases.

    Always look at the Eagle's eye. It is not ever right and really wrong on this one.
