Depends what you mean by most - most faked by quantity or most faked by the number of different people faking them. If its the most faked by quantity then the current British pound coin must be up there. The mint admit to 30 million fakes in circulation and others claim its up to 60 million! These are from just a few sources though - A single man was convicted last year of making 14 million fakes over 7 years! If its by the number of fakers then it is probably ancient Greek coins or American coins from the early 20th century - the Chinese seem to love these! Report this Post to the Staff

Agreed.. lots of sand-cast key-date Morgans out there. some good info and some images of some of the counterfeit Chinese dollars.. https://goccf.com/t/57606 I'll be adding to that thread soon - have some more on the way.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/13/2010 02:01 am don't think this would be the most faked coin but there is definitely allot of them out there on the market, that would be the Trade dollars both US and British Trade dollars. I think I have seen more fakes of these types than I have seen real ones. They range from crude to very well made as well Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/13/2010 09:44 am In the USA it would have to be the Morgan dollars #1, closely followed by the 1916D Mercury dime or the 1909S VDB Lincoln Cent. Report this Post to the Staff
molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 05/13/2010 10:49 am I vote for British 1 Pound coins, every time I pull a random 10 out of circulation (in Central London) I find at least one fake. When I was in Scotland or up in north, I only found one fake in almost a week, that makes North somehow safer. Report this Post to the Staff
