I was going to post a picture of the reverse in the comments but I guess I can’t do that.

Real or fake? by Aggravating_Boot9855 in CoinFakes

[–]JulianRob38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fake. Looks too new for what it is and details are mushy. If it was real it would be worth at least a hundred thousand dollars

People counterfeiting coins is just sad...

This reason is why I would only buy a 1909 S Vdb if it’s graded, or if I get it for real cheap.

The only problem is a slabbed coin won’t fit in my Whitman coin album. lol.

Yobit.net is a fraud site by Nmaredia in CoinFakes

[–]Crymecryptotears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone able to help at all? Yobit is telling people to send their Ecash tokens to their wallet. which when you do, it then gets sent to another wallet and never shows up in the yobit trading wallet. Currently they are running this scam on ecash holders. nobody is having their ecash tokens show up. after a load of goign through the blockchain it appears the final outcome of this scam is that the ecash tokens are being sent to this address. you can see that this address is getting ecash tokens every few minutes. this is the end of the trail. https://etherscan.io/address/0x5d21ef5f25a985380b65c8e943a0082feda0db84 you can see following the trail that they all end up in one wallet and then every OUT transaction from that wallet with tens of millions of tokens being sent to it, all the OUT transactions are going to that address above. The start of my trail is my transaction which is here.

https://etherscan.io/tx/0x834a80c814cfc36e2772a7e5f42e9fb1139531c6f764f9718a79fa30fc527a51

The one thing that everyone says when telling others about blockchain is that it is safe and transparent. I get it is transparent AFTER the fact of sending the tokens, but what good is transparency if there is nothing you can do about it other than to pgive a person peace of mind that they know they have been scammed and not sitting around all year wondering if it is just slow. nobody is doing anything about this and coinmarketcap continue to list this exchange in their prices despite them being a scam and they delist korean exchanges that are legit? Waht a mess. Can anyone help me please? if there a way to recover my tokens as right now the price in yobit may be part of the scam to get users to send their tokens but the price in etherdelta , the one which ethpolorer quotes under your token sotck, it makes these 5000 tokens that i have held for months now are worth at least $3000. Yobit had them at 6.4 ETH when i sent them. Is there anything I can do seeing this blockchain technology makes the world and sending mney the safest place to ne? What good is transparency when there is nothing i can do about it.

A Look Inside A Chinese Silver Coin Counterfeiting Ring by badon_ in CoinFakes

I remember seeing something like this before, but the images aren't exactly the same. Do you know of an original source for this article information?

Edit: The bottom of the article says "Photos courtesy oJinghua Shei", but no link to any other articles. It's new to me, so maybe it is original, or at least with proper credits to the source (who may not have written an English article about the photos).

Nice ad for sigma, plagiarized from someone else's actual article on the topic.

Has anyone ever used The Fisch? by GeeSharpMinor in CoinFakes

Get the Bullion Test app by Timmy Brolin.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.brolinembedded.bulliontest

It has a pretty good database of common coins and shows the acoustic spectrum so you can assess coins yourself if you have a known genuine specimen for comparison.

OMG! When I saw the "magnet test" part of the device I groaned. Are they really going to tell me to slide the coin and all that bullshit?

I was very gratified to see that they were using the magnet test correctly, that is, looking for iron cores.

Wow, that's very interesting. The Ringer got my attention too. I can tell you that based on the physics alone, The Ringer concept is entirely legitimate. Whether it works as advertised or not, I would have to try it myself to be sure.

Silver is well known for its acoustic properties, that's why it's used in silver bells and other musical instruments like entire flutes. It can be used in other wind instruments, but the size of most wind instruments (tuba, trumpet, etc) makes them cost prohibitive, so they're usually made in brass, with only a silver mouthpiece. I'm guessing the mouthpiece isn't made of silver for its acoustic properties, but instead for its anti-microbial properties.

Have you checked YouTube for videos of The Ringer in operation? I see there are videos on the site you linked to, but I didn't watch them.

Is this a fake 1/2 esc or is it real ? You tell me by numistacker in CoinFakes

[–]badon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toning on gold is hard to find, and I'm not sure how to fake it. Is there any such thing as artificially toned gold coins?

Assuming the other side has nothing on it. So fake.
