COUNTERFEIT COINS WITH BETTER QUALITY
State Of Art On Counterfeit Coins.
Today’s counterfeiters are producing much higher quality of counterfeit coins with state of art technology than the old days using cast slugs. I have seen some good pieces had fooled reputable dealers in town. Like the Queen Elizabeth II and Malaysia Parliament Series 50 Cents milled edge,Straits Settlements Silver Dollars, Mexico Trade Dollars and China Dragon Silver Dollars.
Among my visitors was En Sabri, the Kota Bahru, Kelantanese collector who claimed that he had the very expensive US silver trade dollars with total value worth for few hundred thousand US dollars. He was the men on the local news paper couple of days ago.He came all the way from Kota Bahru to my shop yesterday with his collections.He has a genuine Pillar Dollar with a portrait crafted on the obverse of the coin; one piece of fake Pillar Dollar with floral edge,a piece of fake US trade dollar, two pieces Duit Azimat (Fantasy Coin) and some counterfeit tin coins.
I took the opportunity to share with him How To Detect Counterfeit Pillar Dollars and How To detect Counterfeit US Trade Dollars.
I hope he had learned some basic skills of how to detect counterfeits so that he can checks the authenticity of a coin by him self in future.
Within past three days, I received more customers visited my shop "The Dickson Niew Collection Corner" at Subang Jaya seeking my help to authenticate their Pillar Dollars,Trade Dollars and Chinese Silver Dollars. I think these must be the "after effect" from the news published in some local news papers two weeks ago, followed by the article "Stupid collector want to be popular" posted on local popular Blog, the Lunaticg.blogspot.com. More details and updates were posted in his following post "Expert view on Vtraque Vnum coin.
