    These seemed to have been removed when I checked (couldn't find it as being sold either), so either the seller or ebay might have taken it down

    fair enough, yeah, just found them listed again, how do you know the year for these coins? It doesn't seem to be in the coin?

    ISWright was selling fake Japanese coins. Sen denominated coins with bogus Meiji years.

    Also sellers that were banned for fake predecimal are back exactly 12 months later using same accounts.

    Chinese silver coins are notoriously fraught with counterfeit. I would touch one with a ten-foot pole. I saw the other day a bidding war for a fake early 20th century Hu Peh silver dollar. The price went up to over 200 dollars. It is crazy. That dollar coin is in such a pristine condition that you can see there is no sign of tear or wear of each and every dragon scales at the forefront of the bas relief.

    He's got 4 of them for sale all up. The best bargain is the one where he's offering 2 x 1oz as a package for $3k buy it now and the font is different for the serial numbers lol
