Just saw a batch of fake dollar-sized coins brought back from the Philippines by a tourist. Usual 1799 and 1800 bust dollars, various date seated dollars (including an 1848-O), an 1890-S Morgan and a very interesting run of Trade Dollars including an 1872-O, an 1882-CC, and (drum roll) a 1799-S!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing, ain't it?????????????????

    do you reckon they were recently made? or quite old fakes
    in and of themselves?

    Typical modern stuff we see from the People's Republic of China. I guess they are opening branch sales offices!
    LOL

    Those are the only three trade dollar dates I'm missing. How much do you want for them? I hear the 1799-S trade dollars are hard to find fully struck.

    tasty treats for many american collectors with tons of cash burning a hole in their pockets and little coin knowledge in the market that get blinded by get rich quick schemes

    i am sure that these coins will do well on sleezebay and at smaller coin shows and also estate sales auctions etc.
