Chilly but nice morning to stroll the flea market. A vendor who knows me, flipped this Peace dollar at me and asked if it is real. I whipped out my trusty hard drive magnet and it was all over but the crying. He thanked me for saving him the aggravation and gave it to me. It reeks of fake but I'm glad it's out of circulation although the old finish is a nice touch. Peace Roy

    Yup, this vendor moves boat loads of jewelry and watches. It was in a tub of unsorted at a house clean out in Bergen NJ

    That’s about as blatantly fake as they get!

    I agree but the flea market is where parents let their kids spend their allowance on their hobbies. Just doing my part to stem the tide. Peace Roy

    Yah, somebody who knows just a little about coins would sell it for some real bucks to somebody else who doesn't know better, but who thinks they are getting a key date, and sadness ensues.

    That one screams fake to even a marginally trained eye.... Glad you got it off the market. Thanks for the pictures. Cheers, RickO
