Hi folks-

UPDATE - I have found even more additional pieces and have listed them below...

Over the years I have been collecting counterfeits and altered coins to use when I teach counterfeit detection and for my own reference set. I have decided to sell off a portion of what I have as I am not using them as much any more for teaching and others may find them useful for their personal reference sets. As far as I know, these are contemporary counterfeits (unless otherwise noted) that were produced prior to the Hobby Protection Act (except for the Sac dollars) so they will not have COPY stamped on them.

All prices are post-paid and you can return any of them if you like for any reason...no worries. PayPal, check, or money order is fine. If you choose PayPal, I cannot accept credit cards with my account...sorry.
