    yennus that does not look like the same coin that you showed the front of in the other picture. The previous picture shows the front of a very worn coin. The picture above shows the reverse of an ASE in very good condition. I have never seen a coin with an extremely worn front and a very good reverse.

    Picked up a bunch of fake morgan, trade dollars and an American Silver Eagle today
    God awful fakes.
    Might trick a tourist but no stacker is going to be fooled by these fakes.
    The American Silver Eagle had an 1816 date and was aged :rolleyes:
    Will be bringing it to the Sydneystackers meet this Sunday if anyone wants to view it.

    Yennus, thanks for posting details on the Fake Panda, I was under the impression the double seal was a good thing to look for. Now it looks like I need to re-think that. Cheers I am sure you have saved me some money.

    I also saw a Mirrored 2000 Panda going cheap on Ebay it looked pretty close, but I asked for higher res images Guess what no response. So no bids for me just in case. I can walk away from a bargain as the saying goes "If it looks to good to be true then it probably is"

    I've seen those fakes here in EU, one idiot bought them. One side on some of them is similar to ASE, the other is not. The 'quality' is shitty, the coins stink (really), the diameter is way to small, the weight is way too low, they turn black and spotty very fast.

    They have about the same chance for being mistaken for the real thing as monopoly money.
