Very interesting. There is a lot of gold on that list. No surprises in the non-gold list.

Top 50?! I read elsewhere that copying our coins was perfectly legal in China. Maybe, Trump can put that on his list of things to take up with them.
Thanks for the link. I'm going to check it out.

 Hard to believe this is a fake (#47 from the article). They say many of the coins were made in the 60s & 70s and are still making the rounds. |

I've looked at many gold Eagles, jbuck, and it still fooled me! The diagnostic is a tiny tool mark over the bottom "R", btw.

Article was reported in the latest issue of The Numismatist which just arrived yesterday.
So it looks like you need the hand of a saint to bless any Indian Quarter Eagle purchase, with the half eagle not far behind.

Outstanding list, thanks for drawing attention to it. I particularly like that every entry has a "Read more" link that provides diagnostic tips.

Good information. Shows you how hard those Chinese work.

There's a reason why a lot of people say to only buy graded gold if you aren't a specialist
