Fake Morgans Exploding On E-Bay

Although there are a lot of China "junk" floating in the seas, there is a fair amount of eastern European nastiness, too, especially in the European coins.

But fakes are not new. In the 1950s you had to watch out for the added S on the 1909 VDB and the removed D on the 1922.

Brasher Dubloons have been faked since the later 19th century, as have almost all of the pre-1799 coinage.

A fair number of the fake Trade dollars were produced in the 60's.

So, yes, there is certainly a concerning number of fakes out there today, but it isn't something new.

Anyone have a gold plated 1883 No Cents nickel?

E-bay has been overrun again. just seen another fake 1893-cc Morgan silver dollar by seller claus129 (0 ) Ends in 4hrs. Four other seller listings fake as well.Plenty of bidders as usual.

@ jaxenro the clever China criminals have skills. Hacking skills, forgery skills, identity skills and shipping skills. Bet E-bay is losing alot of money.

I've got an original roll from the racketeer...

Nope, just Joshing.
