I am curious about the little piece here

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1740-Holland-Knight-...bayphotohosting

It just looks interesting but what is it? (owner doesn't know!) and how much do you think it would be worth?

The page is not responding. Do you have an item number?

No and I can't find it now

It seems the coin is located in China - is this a bad thing??

K.O.- I will look here later tonight. If you find it, post it, I'm sure one of the good citizens of this site will lend you a hand.

Yep, a lot of the counterfeits come from china and I believe this is one. Look here at one listed by Goldberg coins. Click on the magnifying glass and compare the two.

I wouldn't touch it.

Yes, in my opinion It is a bad thing. For whatever reason, many fakes and dangerous items have been coming out of China lately. Its not just the fake coins. Toothpaste with anti-freeze additives, childrens toys painted with led paint, and the poisened dog food. I can't wait to see what they have planned for the olympics (record level smog appears to be the front runner.)
I was burned once on a coin deal from China, fortunitly it was for a small amount.
If the coin is in China, it is best to leave it there.
Please keep in mind that this is strictly my opinion.

nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! i heard of it an saw it on abc news .....but forgot xD since it was a long time ago ....now i have a dog then i didnt ...hmmm gotta watch out ......be right back will check her dog food cans

nope its from australia (>_> my dog eats food from australia an i dont >_> sheeesh)

As soon as I saw the name location was "China" I thought I wouldn't touch it!

Odd how the image of the knight only vaguely resembles the original. Yes I have seen lots of crapola located in China on ebay coin searches, when you look at the description they usually say postage is something ridiculous like £30-100!!?

Of course I believe the panda coins are a gimmick....

hmm look at the knights head ...looks like he is wacking him self with the axe an the knight has chinese eyes....is it me or just my 7.07 am imagination??? ^_^

Not worth touching. I remembered my dealer had an original one for sale too cheap and I was dumb enough to pass it up

It seems to be one of those recurring things in coin collecting - passing up a valuable coin due to a misunderstanding of its value. Maybe the best idea is if it looks good value and not sky high then just buy it - you can never go wrong..
