    Guess he edited the auction after I send him picture showing that coin is fake. :) :/

    He didn't reply after last message. :)

    What do you think about this one:

    Tiffany 2007.

    Looks like there is something on the glass. :/

    The glass looks broken / damaged. And by the way the seller states that coin is made by Tiffany & Co. which is not true, these coins are not related to Tiffany brand.

    Seller told me that there is something with the glue or something. But dunno what glue has to do with the glass. Maybe fall on the capsule.

    The coin is part of Tiffany Art:
    Tiffany Art Coins

    Next year 10th will be released.

    Same seller is selling another fake Tiffany 2012 coin, but instead of bidding type auction with "buy it know".:/

    Another day, another fake coin.

    The 2005 coin pasted in one of the links above is quite probably fake two!

    Stay put as Coin Squad series will continue.^^

    For similar price you can easily get the same coin with COA so don't even bother yourself with this one

    Maybe the coin is not fake, but the seller is keeping the COA to sell a FAKE coin he got from that Spanish seller with an original COA.
    Anything is possible :)

    P.S. nice tiffany picture in the darkness by the way :)

    Alex.

    Only 19 hours left. I didn't notice this before. Really innovative way have to take picture of coin and hide possible "problematic" parts. No to mention the light on one of them... :eek: :rolleyes:

    In this auction the sellers say there is no COA... of course... he had to write "sample" on COA too ;)

    :) I got email back from CIT confirming this is fake. It's also strange that Spanish seller is not selling to Spain (???) and Italy.

    It's mockery that fakeBay even allow auctions (pictures) as this to be published. I will put one Tiffany coin on top of some other 2oz and start claiming that I'm selling whole series. ;)

    Seller ended the auction and uploaded new photos, but I strongly believe that at least some part of the auction is copied from other (finished) auction.

    Saga continues.

    He took all pictures from original German listing:

    People out there everywhere trying to rip others off with fakes my wife saw this one the other day and asked the seller about it.

    You should get this coin tested I believe it's a fake ,and people don't like it when they think they are buying solid silver and they get a silver coated coin, Best of luck to you and I hope you didn't get ripped off by some scumbag cavegirl (82 ) 11:45 am, Wed 11 Sep
    I actually had them tested when we bought them as I was unsure as well. I bought 500 of them. So before I handed over my cash. I had them analysed for purity and they are 999 silver. Ive only got about 20-30 of these ones left so if you want one let me know before they are all sold. Cheap buying at $40/oz most on tm are $45+ for 1oz silver coins/rounds. 2:15 pm, Wed 11 Sep
    So what do you guys think fake or not fake?? I can't believe this guy says that they are real, if they are could someone show me a link to their origins.

    Hi Redbeard, I wouldnt be stacking any of these in my treasurebox.

    It is just a cheap knockoff/lookalike of the timberwolf from the Royal Canadian Mint wildlife series

    It may be 999 silver (if you say it is), but IMO it has no numismatic value
    and would be worth spot silver plus a few dollars at best.

    It has no monetary denomination and doesnt feature lizzy,
    IMO its not a fake per say, and shouldnt confuse to many stackers.

    at 80 bucks a pop like it is on trademe, I could think of 1000 better
    ways to waist my money, sorry even at $40-$45 the words barge pole comes to mind

    How much is the real timberwolf coin going for these days anyway, they may be
    better for your treasurebox, or other coins from this RCM series are available at
    not much more than bullion prices, or even the 2014 kookaburra at around $5 over spot
    would offer a better return

    IMO its REAL...















    RUBBISH




    cheers grant

    You can contact them yourself and you will get same answer. ;)

    Maybe they made samples and don't want that lower quality coins float around, but who knows.... I've heard many things about some of the sellers mentioned in this topic.

    EDIT:
    Looks like they are appearing like aliens in Aliens movie. Based by my counting this is at least 5th (2 were sold. few "buy it now" auctions").

    And they are all from Spain.

    And this one has same note:

    Hi There Bigsky
    I agree with you It is just a cheap knockoff/lookalike of the timberwolf from the Royal Canadian Mint wildlife series.
    and there's no worry of my wife or self buying any of these ,I would be surprised if they are more then plated lead ...
