ONLY IF THEY WERE REAL......

My step brother found these in his mothers basement when he was going through stuff for a tag sale and had me come over and take a look.....I am pretty sure actually 99% sure they are all fake but going to bring them to a local coin shop to see what they say......

1849 Mormon $10, 1776 Continental, 1860 $20 Clark, Gruber & Co. and a USA J.S.O. $5 dolls

    Yeah they don't look right to me. The Continental Dollar is definitely a fake. Would be an amazing find if they were real though!

    It's sad to think that anyone may have paid the prices listed on the 2x2s. $1500 on the fake Continental Dollar; $7300 on the Clark, Gruber & Co gold piece.

    That is exactly what I said to my brother, Mom has no idea where they came from and he thinks they were his Grandfathers and I told him I seriously hope he did not pay those prices... image

    While fake, the gold content may be real

    Find someone with a good scale and weigh each piece then do some research.

    You might find some gold among them.

    If they are ALL fake, someone sure had a patsy... that is a big 'investment' and someone made a profit. Cheers, RickO

    I'm afraid I agree with Perry. Save yourself the gas money driving to the local coin shop.

    Reasonable rip-off prices...hey, at least they didn't get gouged, just ripped. The flips and staples and album cost more than the repos.
