    Hey gang!

    From time to time we have folks bring in coin related jewelry. Yesterday I was presented this neat watch fob made of 3 cent silvers and half dimes. I thought it was a neat piece and I bought it. I got to looking at it a little harder after I bought it and there was a contemporary counterfeit right in the middle.

    Neat, struck with hand-engraved dies, it appears.

    I know a guy who collects contemporary counterfeits. If you don't have a customer for this, I may be able to connect you.
