Dave Bowers Book on Silver dollars available direct from China: http://cgi.ebay.com/BOOK-SILVER-DOL...goryZ530QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem So, this is how they study US silver dollars!
Someone in China probably bought one book and made a copy for everyone in the country that wanted one With the prices of some of the older books, we may see fakes on the market.
made in china made in china. everything made in china. but who are the brains and masterminds. the owners and the producers. 95% are american and westerner. so who is to blame. china is only the workers. low wage salary. poor china. but people there are industrious and hard working. they save hard money that they earned. generally. they are still very poor. all big corporation in china are almost half owned by foreigner and the other by chinese government. just buy u.s. mint products. that's it.
is not a big surprise, they reverse engineer everything else they get from the rest of the world, why not coins
Oh, no! Next you'll tell me that all of the Presidential candidates are from China! (well, I know that they are from outer space!)
Actually they are made in that Top Secret House in Wisconsin Dells. I've been there and seen it personally, REALLY!!!!

Elaine1970: Sorry but I don't believe that garbage. The Chinese gov't is the one to blame for all their successes and all their faults, They rule that country with a total blackout of current life going on around the globe. Except for the internet (which they also control) there is little done in that country without the central, provincial, and local governments partaking in. It's still total control of ALL aspects of life there. Enough for now. Bruce
