I know of a seller that I have done business with both in genuine and in counterfeit asian coins. He is offering me 100 counterfeit coins for 220.00 before he posts them one at a time on ebay. The only counterfeit I have purchased from him is a silver wash slightly over sized fine 'composite' (probably CU-NI or brass) (over weight, usually they are short) and I was quite happy with it (he claimed he lost money on it). Counterfeit 'dragon dollars' go for about 20-40 bucks or more as 'rare' or "I don't k ow what I'm doing so you are getting a 'steal'" from others but this seller says its fake when he thinks it is. The question I have is does anyone know of the original source vedor of these 'coins' (vietnam I understand) so I may purchase direct?
