I wonder if we can start dating the approxamite era of Chinese fakes by how poor or well they're made?

I hope you didn't pay over $5 for this lot of play money. Flea market?

That 1858 20 cent is scary, I don't think I would have questioned that one. (At least from just the images.)

Conder101 I think the 1858 Canadian 20 cent is real, from his collection. I like it. It would be scary if China started faking Canadian.

Notice how the fields of that "copper" cent have no scratches what-so-ever. Keep characteristic to a counterfeit.

That 20c is definitely authentic. 1906 1 oz silver dollar? Really?

1. NO US silver dollars were made in 1906
2. The design of the ASE wasn't until 1985, and then they started striking them in 86.
