Was out doing some looking yesterday and found something to add to the hoard. The 1882 is a nicer counterfeit for my counterfeit collection.





Hoard the keys.

    Ever considered investing in one of these? They are designed to measure the metal content of the entire coin, not just the surface like XRF.

    Of course this won't help with counterfeits with correct metal content.

    I see them a lot more now, price is not that bad I think it was $700 or $800. But like you said if it is gold it will not tell you if it's a fake or not.

    Is it easier to obtain counterfeit coins @Type2 ? How did you decide to collect this type? :)

    No not easier I'll find one here and there but I look for the nice one's that are made well the better made one's can be hard to find, Yes You can find the easy fakes with out a problem I want the one's made of real Silver or Gold most are not.
    I'm sick I tell you sick.

    Is the gold of the same purity as the real coin? If so, is the only value the scarcity of the coin? i.e. numismatic value vs. PM value? Cheers, RickO
