1 piece 9 bead

[gregM]

So here's a new one.-----

It looks like some enterprising person has becided to make a new
fake 1 piece to fool unsuspecting ebayers.

The only problem, they used a 9 bead fake as the doner cross.

At least it's easy to spot

It's amazing to me that someone has enough skill to pull off a fake like this, only to overlook something as simple as a bead on a crown. Unfortunately, just like counterfeit money, the best fakes are never discovered.
