Check these out. Believe it or not, I found these at one of those "we buy gold" places at the local mall. When I told the owner they were fake, he gave them to me. I cant wait to compare them to the chinese fakes I bought. I had to look twice at the Peace dollars. They weight just under 27g and are non magnetic.   |

I bought 2 morgans and have a ultra accurate scale at work they both weighed precisly 27.735grams so I knew they where real, earlier I bought a morgan my first one showed it on the forum and guess what everyone said it was fake and it was! The guys here are very good

 Before getting to their authenticity, they are huge rip-offs even if genuine. $300 each for a common-date Peace and $350 for a Morgan? Outrageous and dangerous. Scammer! |

My thoughts exactly... Even if they were real, that is a huge ripoff.... |

Remember where he got them. Very possibly someone that has no idea of the prices of coins and just put something on them. As to fakes. Someone I know also bought a bunch of Silver Dollars. Weighed them and tried a magnet. All looked and weighed accurate. At a coin show every dealers said fake.

If the story is true and if he just handed them over, then he must have already known they were fake, which means he's even a BIGGER scammer than just charging $300 for a common silver dollar.

What's with the 'pure silver' stickers?

PawnS, obviously the seller knew they were fake. Why else would he have handed them over? Plus, there was much more dialog then my post implied. Is it necessary to post an entire book to get to the point? He had them for sale, I saw they were fake and after 45 minutes of discussing coins with him I realized he has no idea about coins. When I told him if someone reported him do to the numerous laws he brokehis biz would be finished, he told me I could have them and didnt want them in his case. I imagine that was after I told him how many fakes were out there and that I have some for reference. Is that better? Post about coins not your detective skills.
