    Hello,
    I posted a handful of coins on ebay for sale. A couple days later I got a message from eBay saying:

    Has anyone heard of the RCM claiming these Cannabis silver rounds are counterfeit?? My title or descriptions did not mention maple or leaf. Just "Cannabis silver round silver shield 1 oz .999 fine silver"

    Thoughts??

    Thanks

    This is exactly why. It is based on the maple design

    Didn't realise that the RCM trolled though Ebay. You could always relist it and only show the other side in the photos.....

    And make sure you mention it’s a silver shield round, not an RCM design.

    Totally different, as anyone who has smoked both will confirm.

    RCM people must have been smoking maple at the time.
