jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 854 Posts	Posted 11/10/2018 5:02 pm Thanks for all the replies ... Is there anywhere to buy a counterstamp marked "copy" or "counterfeit"...? I'd like to stamp these and then list them for sale... I don't want to release them into the wild as is... Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 11/10/2018 5:31 pm I think if you just describe them as not genuine, you'd be ok. Collectors I know would not want to photograph or include them in albums if defaced. Report this Post to the Staff
Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 906 Posts	Posted 11/11/2018 10:24 am I have a number of them that I acquired in lots about a decade ago. The ones on the right are all steel (magnetic), but the others are not. I suspect that they are all fake. They can be interesting to look at, but I would certainly be willing to donate the counterfeits to a war vet's club. Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 11/11/2018 8:29 pm They can be interesting despite being fake because you can study them to learn how to read the characters. And in doing so, one can also be surprised to see obvious wrong things on some of them. I bought a couple assortments like the one pictured just for that purpose. Much time can be enjoyed to learn about what is depicted on each coin and it doesn't matter if steel or not. Doesn't have to be genuine to be appreciated. Actual genuine coins like these may never be available to most. However, one downside is that you really should have some books by essential authors. While not overly costly, a serious collector would or should invest in some of the better reference books. Report this Post to the Staff
ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1333 Posts	Posted 11/23/2018 9:47 pm hmm I actually want to buy some for just that sort of purpose research and learning, but I'm unwilling to pay for shipping or even production cost (some sell them as fakes, but they ask normally for to much, my guess is they are trying to recover their loses so I dont hold it against them). Cause I know that they will show up in bulk lots. Report this Post to the Staff
jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 854 Posts	Posted 11/24/2018 3:05 pm Hey ryurazu - Did I misread your post...? If you don't want to pay for shipping or production how will you buy them? What's "too much"? Report this Post to the Staff
