Hi all check this link to "Known" fake coins from china

 

Do not look if you have a faint heart .. you have been warned

 

There are 66 pages of coins and i am having problems finding any rare ones which have not been faked

 

And the ones which show Unc ones and circulated examples are totally scary !!!

That's a lot of counterfeits. Luckily, just quickly browsing through them, most of them appear pretty easy to spot with a little knowledge.

Thats wild. Never knew they made so many types. I wonder how many folks already own these and don't know they are fake?

Browsing through Ebay,you can generally find almost all ,if not all ,types of "replica" U.S. coins. What bugs me the most about it is they are allowed to list them with genuine coins

Scary stuff - the average person would be fooled by these.

 

So much for having the word COPY stamped on these "coins".

Those are just the products of that one individual. (Granted, he is one of the biggest producers.) Add all the other Chinese counterfeiting mints and you have a LOT of different types and dates.

This is the guy that Susan Headly interviewed for her CoinWorld articles on Chinese Counterfeits. This guy has even counterfeited PCGS slabs.

 

The bottom line, it is illegal to counterfeit Chinese money (yuan and nimimbi). Other "copies" are not covered by Chinese law.

 

My bottom line, don't buy from a Chinese seller.

What about the American seller who purchased from the Chinese seller and is now selling to you?

Caveat emptor. The same answer I give to those who buy coins from the television shopping channels. At some point, we can't save everyone no matter how hard we try.

At least the TV guys sell genuine coins. You must them credit for something although they don't deserve much.
