I need to pay more attention when I buy collections.

So, I bought a collection today. As usual, just a bunch of junk. After the guy left I realized one of the Morgans is a counterfeit. I just thought it was severely polished when I was whipping throught the coins. Oh, and in among the usual circulated silver certificates is a counterfeit $5! image

    Well, the $5 is pretty lame. Looks like it was done on a scanner and then crinkled a bunch of times to make it look worn.

    I did find a couple of Buffs for my Whitman, though. image

    I bought smoe crap Peace dollars and one turned out to be a counterfeit. A pretty good one, too. Some may recall my posting it. I think I sold it for just about as much as I could've gotten, had it been real.
