Wow, I hope the creator of that fake didn't think he was actually going to fool anyone. And if he did fool anyone I think they need to find a new hobby. Thanks for my laugh of the day.

Now for a coin that one is really funnnnnny.
I would think that even people that don't know coins would get a kick out of that one.

All three of those "coins" are quite funny and good for an afternoon laugh... Say, you guys aren't making these in your basements, are you?

The sad thing, some person is going to fall for each one of those examples. It hurts to just think about someone being taken advantage of in such a manner.

That is awesome Steve! Isn't that the coin (wrong way buffalo) that Andy sold to Barney "The Andy Griffith Show (S1E19) - Mayberry on Record"

the coin collecting "scheme" starts at 1:45 until about 4:08...it's classic!

Sorry I don't know how to edit or shorten the youtube videos, or I would have.

Go figure...

If you can dream it...it can come true. Especially with replica/fake/copy coins!
