    From what I have seen from other sources, the 1881-CC dollar might be leading the numismatic leagues for the most counterfeited Morgan dollar. One crook was proudly displayed a whole slab box full of them in counterfeit certification holders.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.
