There are many ways to tell the difference between a real and a fake. I first try the magnet test. If they stick, they're fake. Report this Post to the Staff

Mass-produced fake "silver" dollars are flooding out of China. You can buy whole albums full of them in flea markets for a couple dollars each. If genuine, the coins pictured would range in value from just bullion price ($20 or so) up to many thousands of dollars. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
