Yep I seen that before - great read for sure. The easyiest way to tell if its a fake it the rotation from front to back is ALWAYS messedup and the weight is off bad. Keep any eye out people...

I'm not really into foreign coins, so forgive me that I don't remember the coin. A couple of years ago my Father-in-law was in China and bought some British Empire era coins. He gave me one for Christmas, that was supposed to be 25 grams of silver. I was skeptical; my wife weighed it on a high precision scale at the lab she works at. It was only 20 grams (or put otherwise 80% of what a genuine one would weigh).

Say it ain't so, our best business partner in the world is pumping out fake coinage. Saw some fake gold ones also. They are such bad fakes though that a simple magnet will let you in on just how bad. They gotta rank with Saca's and zincolns in the cheapo department.
