Westwood Arms Pillar of the Community United States 686 Posts	Posted 07/14/2012 10:39 pm I bought a few dozen off-metal fakes 10 years ago including this coin, some French and British crowns and an 1804 US dollar for about $2 per. No idea what to do with them. Will not sell. Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 07/14/2012 11:30 pm Bill, are either of yours magnetic ? Westwood: "No idea what to do with them. ..." - solder them together, and use them as fishing sinkers. "Will not sell." - do you mean "I won't sell them, because I don't want to"; or "I can't sell them, because I can't find a buyer". Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 01:27 am As a collector of counterfeit coins - I do not care to see them destroyed - if something can be learned from them. The uppermost copy has the look of a very early 20th century forgery. The second looks far newer probably a "Tourist class fake" of the type used to bilk a tourist out of a buck. Like all counterfeits - they should be published along with physical parameters and date of first discovery. They should only be sold or traded to a specialist who will publish them or they should be given to one of the coin museums. Report this Post to the Staff
