Chinese duds sold as genuine.

A similar 1932 dud sold for $1500 recently.
That seller is well known to this forum as a seller of dud coins.

Always interests me that no-one ever seems to ask questions on this Ebay sellers ads.
Wouldn't it make sense to put him under the pump with some probing queries, especially if someone is going to part with that much money.???

I'd say the 38 Crown they are selling is FAKE too,check out the MM & N in COMMONWEALTH & there's a die crack from the dot to C in COMMONWEALTH as well, i've reported all 3 coins as Chinese Copies.

I think the questions only show up when the seller replies, and possibly only if they want it to.
That no questions show up, does not mean that questions have not been asked....

I would think that MANY questions are asked but the seller chooses not to add them to the listing:dodgy:

I asked a question on the 2 Florins, but i really don't think the seller will post them in the listings LOL.
