Thank you, @Pandao!

For my untrained eyes, there are not signs to be suspicious, but I trust you 100%!

Thank you for sharing!🤗

Brittania coin company too ?

[Rains]

Out of curiosity  how did u tell

[Pandao]

@Leonmarsh is this a big company? 

[Pandao]

@Rains the coin looks really rough to me I have been selling a lot of panda coins.  This one it’s too fake for me  

[Darr3nG]

@BritanniaCoinCompany  was once a member here.

I see the listing was ended by the seller, due to an "error"...

[Pandao]

@Darr3nG thank you for sharing the information. I think he probably took the coin off from the list.

You would have thought for a bullion dealer, they would have a Sigma or XRF machine or something similar to verify the metal content if nothing else. It wouldn't inspire confidence if a punter on ebay had to tell them it was a fake. 

It isn't too difficult to spot a fake when you place them side by side.

Definition of tautology: Using the words "ebay" and "fake" in the same sentence!

This is why I bought my spiderman marvel coin from a trusted member on the forum, I seen counterfits being sold on ebay.
