If you pay him in fake 20s would be a heck of a deal. Sorry but Lebanon and real US coins just does not go well. Lebanon was/is a huge source of phony Coins since the 1950s . PS all three are fake ! |

@Pacificoin you are right. I have a collection that I brought with me from the US, and I'm always looking here to add on it, but fakes are all over, was trying to buy a Morgan, six out of seven were fakes, and some were silver fakes. But I bought around 60 coins in the last three months. All good. Washington quarters, Kenedy halfs, Franklin and Peace dollars. |

Yes, the fakes shown in the linked article had the correct weight and tested at 90% silver. One was even certified as genuine by a TPG before they later rescinded the certification, so definitely not an obvious fake. |

Beside the R in burfle23 informative article, E PLURIBUS UNUM appeared incuse on the second example, while the first example look raised like the genuine ones in PCGS site, that is some really scary good fake.

So guys I went and met this guy, he seems to be a counterfeit seller that acts like as if he's ignorant I took some photos with loop on the "R" and he told me he has two 1909 s Indian Head cents which I think are fake too. I'll add some photos. But the strange thing is that the size is smaller but the weight is correct. ?    Edited by Akf

Looks like a pretty exact match to the counterfeit marker in @burfle23's article. Not sure why the diameter and thickness aren't correct if it's truly silver.  |
