Hi buddy, welcome to the forum.

It's certainly good to have a PM investigator here to offer advice.

So, in your opinion, what is the most often seen counterfeit coin at the moment?

Definitely the 1oz Lunar horse but there is also a lot of old numismatic world silver (obviously not old) these are all magnetic & incorrect weight, i think people are buying bulk lots from you know where & then trying to sell them as the real thing.

A tip here for anyone that does get caught with a fake from ebay "Do Not" offer to return it, take it to your local coin shop for them to provide a written verification for ebay who will them issue an immediate refund.This is the best way to stop this junk for recirculating.

Fantastic advice, I had never thought of that.

It's a real shame there are so many fakes around, I have been caught out myself quite a while ago with some world silver crown sized coins.

All magnetic.

Welcome to the forum Cyber Curtain Twitcher. I think I remember watching one of your videos about a fake horsey, but aren't the fake horses completely incorrect, wrong size. Or are they making good copies now? And are there any fake kooks in the market that one should be aware of?

In response to Chris Silver.

The horse is totally wrong, BUT, to newcomers this would be an easy oversight, just like the one that was sent to me.

There are fake 2012 Kooks out there & i'm continually trying to get my hands on anything I think the silver community should know about.
Fakes aside, i see a dip in silver prices, so am rubbing my hands with glee, I'm gonna hold out to see if we get another $19 bottom.
Looks like Motorbikez knows me as well Dogsoldier.

I too think there will be a dip, I was discussing it with Chris the other day.

Like we both said, stay low for 2-5 years and then rocket to £50. I'd be very happy with that!!!
