detailing down back lengthwise is incorrect and indistinct, detailing around snout top jaw is incorrectly marked, scale markings on tail side are also incorrect in dimension, font size on top lettering is different in size to bottom lettering, not a bad fake and would pass easily I am sure to people without patience or those that do not research. I would love to see dimensions and coin firsthand, but am past buying fakes just to be a pain in the arse to the seller, just goes to show how many criminals there are on the bay.
Shame of it is it may also be someone thinking he is a genuine seller that had (thought he had) a great deal. you know back in the late 90's I bought all kinds on ebay from gold jewellery, gold pocket watches, rolex's and awesome gemstones, you had to be careful back then but now its a hazard, even if you can get your transaction reversed, do you really wanna pay for return postage to a criminal that just tried to spank a few grand(in my case) out of you. At the time I made a shipload of money on ebay despite some non genuine gemstones which came with fake GIA certification from USA.I still have some of those genuine article buys still today in my safe. China, Ukraine, USA, Brazil, Australia, Indonesia.....really there is no end its an opportunists market for those who can live with dishonesty on their conscience and easily justify the rewards, you are or you aren't and the law has a grey line regarding what is and what is not acceptable, Since when did asia give a shit about patent, trademark or just outright counterfeit copy or reverse engineered design. Better things to do than waste time there, only purpose for me is researching what people will pay for given item.
