  • Harsh cleaning, environmental damage for starters. My question would be: Why submit a $12 coin to begin with?


    Have a Great Day!

    That's what I thought too, when I saw the pic....I have an 1896 that looks just like that that a friend brought back from China a couple of months ago.....

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • Perhaps it has "Made in China" on the rim? image

    Correct! It is a counterfiet. I picked it up at the Flea Market for $2 as a curiosity. The guy that had them said he ordered a bulk lot from someone in China.

    I guess the keyword is China. I thought they were more well known for counterfiet trade dollars but I guess Morgans fall into that category also.

    I read somewhere that over 70% of all the worlds knock-off, fake, counterfeit, pirated, or otherwise garbage is produced and comes out of China.

    I have actually been there. Every corner has a shop with Movies that have not even hit the theatres yet for less than a dollar U.S.

    It is a pretty bad situation.

    Shoot, if you guys want to see knockouts from China, just go to Chinatown in NYC. You name it, Gucci, Rolex, coins, it's all there, and at great prices too!
    Every man is a self made man.

    Counterfeit
    All glory is fleeting.
  • A cleaned counterfeit, how pathetic!
    Enjoy each day as though it was your last.
