darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2426 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 8:18 pm I recently received hundreds of photos of fake coins from Mike and I must say that I am in disbelief as to how many fakes are actually out there. I wonder how many more are waiting to be identified out there. I can't imagine how much time and effort Mike put into this work. All I can say about the photos that I received is WOW!! Thanks Mike, I cant put a price on what the group of photos are worth. Report this Post to the Staff

wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 02/03/2016 10:43 pm SPP or anyone, I'm curious why many of the counterfeits have such a flat gray, an almost pewter appearance in photos and are they more realistic looking in hand? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 01:02 am Only the cheap non-silver ones look like that. I have seen them in .800 silver and they can be pretty good (in a bad way!)...
