These quarters are cast silver plated brass,not silver,look convincing right? They look silver at first glance but have a brassy undertone that is a dead giveaway.Be aware of what you are buying,check the weight,test them,and be sure what you are getting is authentic. The 64 quarter is very common and most ppl wouldnt suspect that it would be counterfeited,but don't be fooled,this happens more than you think. Do not fall victim to this type of scam and buy from reputable dealers. These can be easily overlooked,I made the mistake of buying these and am sharing this info so that you don't do the same. That is all. Cheers. Another example,with added ware to make it more convincing. Older date with Mint mark
The problem with these coins is that they aren't made to sucker collectors-they are made to sucker stackers. This dates are readily available in mint state, so the only people who will go out of their way to buy them want them for silver content. At a glance, I think these are good enough fakes to fool a least a few people.
Absolutely,I tried that,but i can't even hear my phone ring half the time haha. I hit it with my metal detector,and the weights were way off
I'd be concerned about someone else missing this. I order a few dollars face online and a bag of 90% quarters show up and one of them is one of these counterfeits. Would the seller believe me?!
Probably not,and honestly it may not even be their fault. That is the major issue with counterfeit coins,they can transfer hands 100s of times without anyone knowing its fake,leaving everyone in the chain unknowingly responsible for the next man's loss
Morgan Dollars seem to be the most targeted market for fakes in my experience. I've seen Morgans made exactly like these. Which one u buying? L or R
I think the one on the right is the fake. For one thing, the arrow feathers don't look right. I didn't go any further than that. Chris
Nope. These are all die-struck. The pimples are from a crappy die transfer process. The Chinese don’t cast their coins anymore
At first glance it was easy to tell with these. Clay like surfaces (or glazed?), no coin should look like that. Just when I thought there'd be no real money in faking pre-1965 pocket change, I am proven wrong. After all, most of my junk silver purchases have been at a local dealer, so I've never seen a 1964 like that.
I often tell people the logic of “that wouldn’t be worth faking” should be thrown out the window and into the fire. Everything has been faked. ALWAYS BE VIGILANT AND TRUST YOUR GUT!
