As Fake Trade dollars go....are these?

Pretty bad or semi decent. As some may know I do have a collection of electroto's, cast and struck copies.
I bought these 2 ages ago and since I'm cleaning out should they stay or go?

Just a reeding shot, both same on each copy

Yes they are and if she does someone will say they are chop marks. 😉

From what I have seen those would be low-end, quality wise.
I don't think they have any silver content.

Yup. There are much better quality and more deceptive fake TD's in the marketplace. This is one series that I would buy slabbed by one of the major grading services.

Definitely a coin that is found counterfeited in abundance. In general, perhaps the most faked series. That is my impression, I do not have any statistics. Cheers, RickO

THanks everyone. I had a feeling this was the lowered end of fakes. Daniel you are right, no silver content whatsoever.
So destroy two terribly made fakes should be fun. I think I’ll let my hubby take them for target practice.
I might even post them here when he’s done.

I would donate them to the ANA who can use it for their educational seminars and courses on counterfeit detection. You can use the donation as a charitable deduction if you itemize on your tax returns.

How would somebody donate coins to ANA for such a purpose?

Give them a call and they can tell you where to send them.
