    Those are some pretty obvious fakes. You should have had us look at them before submitting!

    If they are made with real gold sell them for melt.
    The td's I would smash with a sledge hammer or shoot full of holes then throw them in the garbage.

    they came in a bagged collection that I bought at a tag sale.....these were the only fakes and when I say fake I mean FAKE as in not even real Gold! I sifted through the bag quickly just to see what i should offer them they wanted $55 I did not even notice these were there till I got home...the only thing I am grateful for is i only paid $25 for the bag and it had about 10lbs of coins 75% wheats of course......and the rest common buff and mercs but could you imagine if they were real......in all honesty I would have gone back and gave the Ex-owner a bit more $ but I do not think they had any clue what was or wasnt in the bag......

    If they don't have any precious metal content as you said...find the most creative way of destroying them. Show us the after results.

    Donate them to the ANA. They use them for educational purposes and will gladly send you a receipt for tax purposes.

    Very good to know I didn't know about this either.

    BXBOY143 - At least you can look at it on the bright side that you have more than $25 worth of copper in wheaties image (Yes I know it is illegal to melt, just sayin')

    At least you didn't get totally screwed you only paid $25 for everything. Now if you would have bought these raw for what they're going for theennn I'd say you'd have some problems...

    yea you aint kiddin I really would have had to second guess about posting this on here if they were all bought seperate + raw....that would be waaaayy to shameful seeing as I read alot of what everyone post on here and to mess up that bad well...I dont know what to say if I did lol!!

    Perhaps they were placed in the bag while you weren't looking or they were the first coins put in the bag before all the cents and nickels. Sounds like someone didn't want to get caught holding the bag, so to speak. If someone handed you a bag of fake $100 bills, would that be just as thrilling?
