    I think these Half Dollars look fake.
    The dates on some really look fake.
    I have not contacted the seller yet.

    He has a few coin lots for sale, some look fine.
    He has two offers on this auction right now.

    Any thoughts on this lot?

    100% fake. I saw them when they were first listed and sent the seller a message. He will learn the hard way. Or his buyer. Maybe both.

    I’ve seen coins like this before. They were minted by I Caan Foo Ya. He lives in northern China.

    Yours probably came from the same "mint".
    It's a good reminder that there are a lot of fakes out there.

    See I asked a simple question and you learned and you caught it all yourself. No one had to explain to you and I view that as a good thing. The walking liberty half dollar the offers design was so popular. It is still used on ASE’s. And now you know why I asked. You did good girl and you’re learning. Believe me it takes a long time to learn about coins and precious metals and for as many years as all the members of CT have been collectors and stackers we still don’t know everything and we learn every day. Have a good evening.

    I checked out your link here and I guess the seller took them down, it states they are no longer available.
