If those Peace dollars are fake there is no telling if the other coins are fakes as well.

Barry, sorry should have read more carefully. Springcypress, after looking back on dvr, I guess you are probably correct.

You would think a person whose life basically revolves around collectibles and selling found items would have more knowledge of coins.

I agree, I found it kind of strange when she left the coin shop she said "I didn't know they made fake coins"

And they also referred to the slabbed Morgans as "The coins with serial numbers"

I managed to get the Cert. Number off the three slabbed coins. I wanted to check the numbers on the PCGS website, to see if these were fake slabs.

5299859 - 1879-S Morgan dollar MS-64
3248028 - 1886 Morgan dollar MS-64
9625161 - 1925 Peace dollar MS-63

I was watching American Pickers a few weeks back, and they walked right by lots of old Danscos. I wonder if they even had any coins, or if they were even for sale.

I'm in the antique business in a small way. The truth is there is almost no way for a dealer to know about everything. The astute dealers know where to go to get informetion about the areas they are weak in. The rest of the dealers just make up prices as they go. I make around 30% of my antiques income by buying items at antique malls that were grossly underpriced by other dealers.

I think part of the show is scripted. It has to be. But the auntioneers, Dan and Laura Dotson, are the ones who auctioned off the storage unit worth $500,000. A man identified as "John" paid $1100 for the unit in Contra Costa County. It had belonged to a recently deceased elderly woman. The treasure chest was a rubbermaid container that had a number of rare coins and a few gold and silver bars. It was heavy enough that 3 men had to carry it out. Unfortunately this auction wasn't televised.
