A lot of the 19th century crappy fakes like the one pictured came from souvenir shops in Asia. More "marketplace" than "swap meet", but they are quite common. Friend of mine was in Cambodia/Laos a few years ago and he said their were wooden kegs of various 19th century coins in souvenir shops. He bought handfuls of them as souvenirs and gifts for friends.

WORST FAKE that I have ever seen........and some our esteemed forum members are concerned that it is cleaned.
OINK
I believe ALL of the replies were in jest.
I might could be spent at McD's

Hmmmm....it doesn't look anything like my PCGS 1804 Dollar PR66, purchased 5 years ago!
Is yours slabbed?
mine looks better than that, but don't think it is supposed to hang from a magnet
Yes, indeed!
This one was actually minted in 1804!!
Wow, well played.
