I only found one (not shown) which is obviously a counterfeit silver dollar. I hope it is not the case for all the coins he gave to me. The two white coins sound like silver and are not reacting to magnet. Edited by Tonton 07/01/2018 3:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 07/02/2018 3:30 pm True or not I'm not sure, but a dealer friend tells me when he checks through customs, he's not allowed to leave China with genuine coins like those that are pictured. But it's ok to take them out of the country as long as they are fakes. Report this Post to the Staff
ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1333 Posts	Posted 07/02/2018 9:01 pm Cause if they are genuine articles they are not allow out of the country. That being said a good genuine silver crown size coin 100-300 easy with rare pieces running very high. Problem is proving they are fakes to some one knows nothing about coins. The best way I see is if they think they are genuine to tell them to buy it from you otherwise they should shut their months ;). They are 100% percent fake as first coins do not look right for their age, second none of these exist aa catalog, third these cant even be considered fakes cause they would have to be copying some real coin, more correctly fantasy coins or tokens.
