I have no clue. I’m still going through a bunch of stuff I bought last year. I need to know if any of these coins are real. Please feel free to comment or PM me.

    It depends. Better than some. Not a great as others. Kinda depends on condition and appearance.

    I can take more images. Just let me know what you want.

    One of the lowest mintage and more valuable coins in the IHC series, but as previously hinted at, how valuable is very dependent on condition.
    Post a photo when you get a chance.
    Update for photos added and subject changed:
    The dollar shown is fake for sure, and I suspect the cent is as well...at a minimum it’s dipped out and not original, judging by the photos I’m seeing on my phone.

    They look like good Shenzen minted coins. The lettering is off in the legends and the design elements have a flat appearance vs. the originals.

    I also believe they are fake. After going through so much of this stuff I bought there has been nothing valuable. Just lots and lots of coins. These coins were in a strip type holder.

    Just for laughs look at the snoz on this one lol.

    Last question, are these worth anything to sell?
    I don’t want them. Does anyone else?

  • Batman23Batman23 Posts: 4,999 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I would not sell them. They are counterfeits. Someone can get hurt. I think there is a legal requirement to stamp the word COPY on them somewhere if selling.

    Those are terrible counterfeits. You may want to throw them out in the trash or keep them to the side marked as counterfeits so that you don’t make the same mistake again. Out of curiousity, why would you buy these without a reference book handy? Those coins, if genuine would be worth a few bucks. I hope you didn’t spend too much on them.

    Straight out of China they are not even United States coins all are fake junk.
    It is against US law to sell them in the United States.

    First thing is mount them in 2x2s and write fake on the paper label. There are a few seasoned coin examiners here on CU, who would want them as known counterfeits for professional use only. @Insider2 for one. IMO. Think about it. We are fighting a battle to keep this junk out of collecting. Knowledge is power. Peace Roy

    It would be illegal to sell them. Not a good idea. Just toss in the trash, please.

    bob :(
    PS: IF you bought them off ebay please report the seller to ebay for selling fakes.

    Truth be told there was a small honky tonk sealer at a flea market down the street. I bought the inventory when he passed. Honestly there was not a lot. I got my money back and maybe a few hundred so far.

    Fake or wizzed, most likely counterfeit

  • markelman1125markelman1125 Posts: 1,858 ✭✭✭✭✭

    On second look they are definitely counterfeit

  • JBKJBK Posts: 15,771 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Not sure on the legalities despite the legal opinions being offered above. The law states that new replicas be marked, and the lack of a marking is definitely an issue for the maker or importer. But, I am not aware that the law applies retroactively to copies produced prior to the HPA.

    Now, we all strongly suspect they are modern Chinese counterfeits. but I believe that would need to he proven for the HPA requirements to apply.

    In any case, there is a market for counterfeits as reference examples, but you should always be very clear about what they are. (The whole reason people recognize them as Chinese counterfeits is that they've seen them before.)

    They are all counterfeits. There are issues with the dentiles, lettering and overall appearance.

    As stated above, all are counterfeit....Glad to hear these were only part of the deal and you recouped your investment on other pieces. I would put these in flips and mark them fakes...they are good teaching tools. Learn the points that identify them as fake. Cheers, RickO
