   I with all intent saw 2 sweet looking Trade dollars about 6 months ago, that were being touted as REAL by a guy at one of them antique stores here in Texas. I will not divulge him for attempting to sell fake as real- I'm not a perfect person- but I took some strong advice from you good folks on the boards- READ A BOOK see…

   This poll is a supplement to my question about destroying counterfeit coins. Have you ever bought a counterfeit coin thinking it was genuine and not been able to return it...that is, it's yours forever and ever? Up to this point, I've been fortunate and I believe everything I have is legit.

   I do Civil War reenacting and I asked my father-in-law to bring me back some Seated Liberty Dollars from China where he was going on vacation. He brought me back 40 of them and I give them away to other "soldiers" so they can have money in their pockets when reenacting. I never sell them, only give them, and tell them they…

   I'm "stuck" with a conterfeit $1 gold coin, but consider that I stuck myself with it. I was buying some coins from a private party. I couldn't put my finger on it but this $1 gold just didn't look right to me. I'm well aware of how much bad $1 gold is out there. The coin was of proper weight and I bought it; albeit for…

   I got stuck with a cast counterfiet Morgan Dollar about 5 years ago on Ebay. Still have it, as I did not realize it was a fake until I bought a book a couple of years later. WS

    I have a counterfeit lincoln 14D F15 that I bought when I was 14 or 15. 30 years later it comes out of the coin album and PCGS sez it's bogus. oh well. the dealer - long gone - was later known to have made a market for stolen and bogus coins.
