Hi, I post you here an article which explain those fake coins. I remember you laugh at me when I say this is fake coins. I do not recall the post.

silviosi, thank you for this article. It makes me wonder what they'll be faking next.

Others articles will come in the short future but not before disclosures.

these look to be part of the same scam reported some 10 years ago about Chinese sending fake, mutilated coins to the US Treasury for redemption, supposedly they redeemed more half dollars than had ever been minted

Did they break down the actual metal compositions and manufacturing process? It can't be cheap to coin a counterfeit. What would you make it out of, nickel clad copper? Just getting your hands on a proper alloy, rolled to the correct thickness, can't be cheap!

I guess it's like a Henning nickel. They aimed low and for volume because who would suspect it?

Remember when we found out scrap metal recyclers were shipping "worn coins" from China ...

Makes me think they found another use for their scrap.
