Fake 2 Dollar Coin

Looks like the usual suspects.

I have never been fond of the $2 coin. But, thanks to CCF, some years ago, I became aware of the forgeries, so I always check my change for them: haven't found one yet.
If I found one, I'd keep it, so that would cost me $2. I wouldn't be willing to pay much more.

I think of counterfeits as near-numismatic curios. I wouldn't pay much for them, but I'd pay a little.

One theme to my collection is that I collect British coins of 1820. There were a lot forgeries in that era, so I've added a few of them to my collection. When I show them to a non-numismatist, and she/he has the forgery in hand, I point out that possession carried 14 years' transportation upto 1832; uttering, or coining, carried the death penalty. the last hanging for coining was in 1828. These facts seem to impress non-collectors far more than any of my genuine coins.

In previous discussions of forged $2, I think Nancy had caught a few "in the wild". But, I think Nancy handles cash in a shop, so she gets to see more coins than I do.
