Wow what an opportunity.
My Collection of Old Holders
Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Obviously made by a Chinese apprentice die maker. Even they knew they couldn’t fool anyone with the artwork on this thing so they put a fantasy date on it for the “collector who has (or most have) everything
tem location:
Roman, Romania
Remember, China allows the manufacturer of decorative items that look like real coins or bullion. They are legally imported into the US. Check Alibaba. The legal counterfeit items tend to be the ones purposely created with different dates/mm combinations than minted. The word COPY is supposed to be on them otherwise. Of course people then use these different ways. It appears that some people use lasers to alter the date/mm to something actually minted. They find ways to fill in or remove the COPY stamps as well.
Technically, it's an 1865 Washington "Dollar"...
Looks like "Facsimile" is partially stamped on the reverse, under the eagle's wing - I can only make out the end of the word.
I think some fakes are easier to determine than others
Just more trash on ebay.... I just do not look for coins there anymore... even with having to stay home, I just cannot justify the waste of time sifting through all the trash. Cheers, RickO
These have been around for a while, since at least 1730...
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Could use that for the registry... a pop 1!
Why no hole for that in my Dansco???
Even my wife would spot that as fake.
