About 8-9 years ago I bought 40 of them, including a few fake seated dollars, one TD housed in a counterfeit pcgs holder, and sent several of them to Don Willis along with the Chinese contact information. These wouldn't fool a seasoned dealer or collector, but an unsuspecting newbie collector could be taken in by them. If anyone wants any for study, or as a conversation piece, please let me know. Cost is $3 each, shipping is a flat $3 for 1 or for all 37. (Most are 1878 CC, S, and p)
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

Do they look like this?
Hoard the keys.
There is a forum member that catalogs counterfeits... I am sure he would want one... cannot remember his handle right now...(a serious case of CRS)....Cheers, RickO
They look like the 3rd row down, 3rd from the left. At first glance, rows 4, 5, and 6 look pretty darn good.

Wow those look good. A friend who used to set up at w shows had a bunch of bogus ones in frame on wall in his home w old west background. It was an impressive display when he had a girl over. A stripper stole them after spending nite and he did not notice theft till about week later.
We always wondered what became of them - did she try sell at shop or sell on the Bay?
Pm sent. Thanks for doing this. Years ago was burned by buying a fake and this will help me in distinguishing between the real one I now have.
I would also like one to share with my coin club, if there are any left.
