    These are all fakes, been a lot of these coming in lately. I had to run back down to the shop and meet a lady a few sat back after I had closed. When I first got there, I was like wow, worth the drive back down, better date halves. bust halves, seated dollar, was getting a bit excited, then realized "these are all fakes, and darn good ones" for a quick glance.

    In fact, I would bet that most of the pawn shops and other places might would buy these thinking they were good.

    In fact the following week, same lady took them to one of the other gold buying shops and got em. The owner knowing I know coins brought them over to sell to me, after informing him and determining it was the same lady, he was mad.

    Good enough to fool the novice collector also. The 4 is what tipped me off. It might fool anyone who has never seen an 1824 quarter before. They are not common.

    Looked good for a second until the date was clearly a fake at any distance :) ...A real one.

    Those would fool most collectors and many dealers. When did they first start appearing on the market?

    The seller's sold listings all have the same charcoal look, and the Conn half, 16 quarter and 21 walker look bad to me.

    Since you have had them in had can you tell us the composition? Brass, Copper, Silver?

    Thanks,

    The "charcoal look" is a red flag these days, but deceptive, as genuine coins can have this look, too. Ya gotta look for other indications, like the date, etc.

    Collector and dealer in obsolete currency. Always buying all obsolete bank notes and scrip.
