They should just hire you.... lol I love the product description: Quote:
Seller: This coin does not stick to a magnet. It measures 1 1/2" and weighs 19.31 grams. It was with my fathers things when he passed away in 1991. It's like he's saying "I swear its not fake please bid on it!!" You don't even need to see the coin to know its fake at that point. 11 bids?!?!?! |

Thanks again, vermontensium. Stuff like that keeps me from buying much.  Except from members of my local coin club. |

I know squat about colonials, but I knew right away that was fake. THAT was a true example of bidding stupidity.

I think the coin/token/toy depicted was sold as a souvenir in the 1950s and 1960s.
It seems to me I saw them at Disney Land or Knott's Berry Farm in Southern California.
I have three similar coins/tokens/toys that were given to me a few years ago.
One of them is poorly marked as a copy.
In hand they are very easy to tell they are not genuine.
They are all copper plated and the plating is very poor.
The details are very weak.
