westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7621 Posts	Posted 06/05/2015 11:55 pm Glad that "seller" is off the streets. Most likely the pawn shop was originally elated that the "seller" happily accepted their quick, lowball pawnshop offer and were glad to see him quickly exit the store. As the pawn shop clerks were high fiving each other celebrating their "rip", one of them probably decided to do a little bit better exam of the coins, and low-and-behold, they discovered they had bought counterfeit coins. The time to check the merchandise is when it is presented to you for consideration, not after the seller exits the store. Report this Post to the Staff
CPC24 Pillar of the Community United States 619 Posts	Posted 06/06/2015 01:03 am Those look like the cheap Chinese copies floating around on ebay. I found one a while back. They're bad fakes. They weigh 24 grams, they don't ring, and worst of all, they're MAGNETIC! If you don't know what to look for, you can get ripped off. Edited by CPC24 06/06/2015 01:04 am Report this Post to the Staff
JoggingLiberty Valued Member 292 Posts	Posted 06/06/2015 02:24 am I was talking to a local pawn shop owner around me and he told me about a guy who brought in a whole bag of Morgan silver dollars. He said he offered the guy an amount, started to do the write it up and then decided to check them with a magnet..every one stuck. Report this Post to the Staff

I've purchased all my silver from one LCS and one reputable online PM dealer. I'm not worried about the online retailer and I'd like to think the LCS is up-and-up; they'd be out of business fast if they weren't. But there's always that nagging doubt that maybe someone sold them a good fake and they turned it around and sold to me without knowing. I may go through my stash with a magnet just to rule that possibility out. Report this Post to the Staff
