In my opinion, it may be a fake. Just look at the "5"! If there was any way to check the ICCS numbers, then you should. Canadian dollars are frequently copied by two large makers in China and they are getting very hard to ID.

I have removed the post I made last night about the 1945, after going back over things this AM. I was basing some of my opinion on the appearance of the nose.

OOPS, sorry ... in going back and forth between the CaC photo for the 1945 dollar and the coin that you have up for sale, I got the 2 transposed in my noggin. The CaC coin appears to be from Big Tree in China and the nose on your coin looks OK. However, they both need to be looked at closely, as the 45 and 48 have been heavily copied by the Chinese. I base my opinion of the two dollars on Mike Marshal's findings in ID'ing Chinese fakes by their markers. He works hand-in-hand with the RCMP and Ebay/Paypal in removing the secondary selling of counterfeits on Ebay. His seminars and lectures are excellent and he is a personal friend.

The Chinese have gotten extremely good recently on making copies of world-wide coins and some are very hard to see without close inspection.

Wow Bill. I bought this coin from a very reputable dealer in Gatewest Coins from Manitoba. I, living in the GTA personally visit with Scott & Brian from ICCS on occasion to grade and or reholder coins. Although I agree that they need to get with the tiimes & establish a website, they have been grading since the mid 80's and are respected more than anybody else in Canada. If you are suggesting this coin is a fake then this whole hobby be damned....cheating long time "reputable" dealers coupled by unqualified TPG in ICCS.
I have read some of your posts Bill. You seem to dominate this website & have a very high regard for your own opinion. Quite narcissistic. If you have all the answers & know better than Gatewest Coins & ICCS, why not start your own TPG service ? At the end of the day Bill, you have NO recognized credability, just your "there are communists under my bed" rhetoric.
If anybody is interested, I will guarantee this coin through any process YOU choose. You have nothing to lose dealing with me.

Cheers
Dan

Thank you Bill. It takes a big man to admit they might have been mistaken . I (like you, no doubt) have been doing this for 35 years & with all due repect can spot a fake. Yes, they (China) are sophisticated now, but lucky me, all my coins were bought15+ years ago when fakes were obvious. I have to admit with respect, most of your posts are wise advice & are meant to help people in this hobby...,.Keep it up. I will try to follow your lead....

cheers
Dan
