Here is one that is easy to spot. A half baked attempt at reeding the edge, but this coin is so light that it jumps out at you.
This would only fool the most new of collectors.

I'd run from that one merely because it is stunningly ugly! I hope I'd be gone so fast as to not notice it is fake...

The coin looks like tin play money from the toy store years ago!

Wow, that's bad! Even if a new collector couldn't see that it was a fake from a football field away, that gouge in Liberty's cheek should scare even the greenest newbie away.

It honestly "looks" fake in that picture. I'd even venture to say it looks hollow in the middle.
