Awesome. My understanding is that these are being in Central or South America where the brass bucks circulate more. Do you know any more about them?

Aye, you're correct. This one, given the rim, was probably one of the bunches made in Ecuador. Unfortunately, anything beyond that is a bit squiffy.

Is this a case where the counterfeit is worth more than the real thing?  Thanks for sharing! Edited by Joe2007

That's actually very cool and would definantly be worth more than one dollar to the right collectors.

Aye, since they're rather rare in circulation in the States (there are more bogus $1 bills per unit than coins; scary thought), this one is worth anywhere from $5-15. Down in South America I'm not sure what the statistics are, though.

Very good find!
How many fakes do you have in your collection?

I don't know how you would legally sale one of them on ebay especially since they passed the new law about no fakes being sold |

My counterfeit collection is currently in the hundreds of pieces, but I only have one other fake Sacagawea. I think I'm hanging on to this one. :-)
