The dealer is either an idiot, or trying to rook you. Either way, I would find somewhere else to go.
The one on the right certainly does look to have been a belt buckle piece. Long soak in acetone should remove that glue nicely. Search acetone on the forums and will find plenty of threads on how to do it if you don't know already.

Do they look so degraded as to have no collector value?
I wouldnt say the dealer was a badguy, they were in a batch with obviously fake seated liberty and morgan coins, I guess hedidnt look as carefully since there were already bad coins in the group.

In my opinion they are worth the melt value of their silver content unfortunately.

You should be in the market for a new dealer. Yours is either an idiot or a crook.

yeah, he probably got spooked because they were in with a lot of fakes. I don't know where people get he's an idiot from, he might of saw something that he thought wasn't quite right and that + the fakes was enough to make him unwilling to take the chance. in his shoes id probably have done the same thing.

He has tons of testing equipment though, he could have done some simple tests. Even a weighing would have shown these are possibly real. On my other stuff, they used electronic metal testers.

Those coins look good to me.
I had a dealer at a show one time try to scare me by saying that so many are fakes and then offered me $10 for each common peace. I just walked away, there are plenty of other buyers.

 with everybody else, but a simple test can be carried out that will cost you nothing, and no equipment is needed. Do a comparison ring tone test with known genuine coins. |
