As many of us are collectors of coins you may find the following article a tad disturbing. Be warned there are plenty of these things for sale out there on internet auction sites. My biggest concern was noting the Vicky crown dies as I collect crowns.

Have a look at the attachment at the scale of coin counterfeiting of silver coins in China.

http://coins.about.com/od/worldcoins/ig/Chinese-Counterfeiting-Ring/

I spent a couple of weeks in China and Hong Kong a few years ago and you would literally see buckets of the fake "Morgan Dollars" in the market place on sale for pennies. They really stood out to me as fakes, but these look far superior.

Cheers
Neil

god its scary !!!  luckily I dont collect, but I would not buy a supposed old coin unless its been verified by the flo, or similar.

Here is a list that I found of all fake coins, just cant believe they even know they are fake, they look sooooo good.
