i dont own any of the fakes I am going to list and I don't have any pictures of them because it is hard to take a picture of somthing you don't own, NONE of these coins were stamped copy .
here it goes,
1. 1779
Trade dollar, steel ,underweight, someone at the flea market tried to sell me one of these,i told him it was fake being they didndt make them in 1779, he walked off and tried to sell it to someone else,
2.complete set of
Morgan silver dollars, steel, underweight, someone offered a set of these to a friend of mine for 200.00 he stuck a magnet to them, it stuck, he sent the guy on his way,
3.fake 1921
Peace dollar, steel, underweight, a vendor at the flea market had thousands of 4 coin sets, the first 3 coins were easy to spot as being fake,(a
Kennedy half dollar the size of a silver dollar, same for the penny and quarter huge!, the scary coin was the 1921
Peace dollar in the set, it looked perfect! if a magnet didnt stick to it, it would have passed for the real thing, the dealer was playing dumb saying he "didn't know if they was real or not" even after I told him they was fake, and he was selling those sets like crazy for 12.00! all the greedy people thinking they was buying a 1921 silver dollar for nothing, thinking they was going to make a killing selling it to a coin shop. it was a sad thing to watch,and he had big plasic totes full of them, thousands of sets and people was eating him alive, he coudn't take the money fast enough,
4. this coin I bought a year ago and got my money back, bought from a dealer, 1/10 ounce gold chinese panda proof.paid 145.00, took it home to look it up, guess what ? they never made a proof in that year! I dont remember the year, took it out of it's 2x2 and weighed it, way under weight! then I took and scratched the edge with a stone and hit it with nitric acid, COPPER! I took it back the next day, scary scary scary!
