What are the years for the counterfeit micro o dollars?

Can they still be found, or did most of them get turned back to the TPGs?do they have a premium, or not?

    1896-o, 1900-o, and 1902-o micro-o coins were widely publicized as counterfeits

    I believe that the premiums are still in play.

    you may desire to go after the medium O counterfeits as well

    read something about 1879 s counterfeits as well, but that information is loose

    I believe there is at least one example of a 1901-O micro out there...saw it go for over 500 bucks on Ebay about a year ago or so.

    As LanceNewmanOCC stated there are medium O counterfeits as well, some exhibiting the same die markers on the obverse.

    I cherrypicked and sold the finest known 1901-O Micro a while back. It is the coin shown on the VAMWorld page.

    These can still be found in the wild, but the hen's teeth in TPG holders are nearly impossible to wrench from their owners.
