Deal Of The Century!

i wonder if it is mainly people trying to rip people off or honest mistakes.

Well, the seller is calling them "altered," so I suspect he's got a good idea of what he has.

What the heck. It's only two Starbucks

Geepers ... so many fakes ... so many newbies.

Thanks for sharing.

nickel remember support ;o)

people collect fake coins as well?

Ayup, all of those are fake (even the Morgan; that's not a "natural" rim). Worth about $10-15 at most to a counterfeit collector, perhaps as much as $25 at "retail" as novelties (but that's stretching it).

From what I can see, I have all of these varieties in my collection already. They are ubiquitous. Every cash-for-gold place gets hit by them eventually.

(Some of my own counterfeit collection can be found at The Black Cabinet, linked below, but I don't think I have these guys up on there yet. They're in the "unsorted" binder, still.)

SteveCaruso, good call on the rim. Didn't notice that before.
