biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 07:09 am Customer brought in a purty set of silver fakes, among other things. 15 apparently silver plated rarities, slightly smaller than dollars, thick as halves. All marked with incuse COPY. The Morgan was the worst copy. Others included 94s and 16d dimes, 76cc Twenty Cent, bust dollar. Nicely made plastic case, no paperwork. Medallions were on molded plastic holes designed to tip out when pressure was applied at the top. Every piece had fingerprints or other tarnish. "Got it as a gift". Betcha they paid $20 per. What would you offer? Report this Post to the Staff

Namachieli Pillar of the Community United States 2120 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 1:39 pm I woulda have offered a dollar each. Maybe sell them for $2 each as hole fillers. Report this Post to the Staff
Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 561 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 1:58 pm I think I would offer also a $1,- each maybe if I was in a good mood $20,- for all... (But I think the "copy" coins should be prohibited... ) Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 2:35 pm If I were a dealer, I would probably point out the "copy" mark, discuss their probable age, and let the guy sort out value himself. Curio shops would never buy these back, so why should a coin shop? Report this Post to the Staff
mmerlinn Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 09/04/2011 4:04 pm I would have been really mean and said (with a really big grin), "Pay me $20 each and I will take them off of your hands." Of course he would have refused, but he would definitely be thinking that his price was too high and maybe would have brought his thinking back down to earth. Report this Post to the Staff
