Windycity Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 01/05/2013 5:46 pm Thought forum members would get a kick out of these two fake gold coins... the $5 is clear a novelty piece and the Eagle reminds me of a partridge. However, the $1 is a more serious attempt at a counterfeit. Both are very light and contain no gold. Report this Post to the Staff
