That is a good looking fake, just goes to show that it's worth performing simple tests to make sure your coins are real when when you get them....
Pictures are looking better but all look like WAM's to me
What you most likely got was a shipment of their coins on approval. It's pretty much standard practice for them when you buy an ad that you are...
Ok, cool. I wasn't thinking it was valuable or anything, just curious what caused it. Thanks guys!
I suppose it makes sense, if the silver is a smaller percentage of the total value, it will have little effect on the price.
Ok I got another picture that I hope show this better. I actually took this with my cell phone and held the coin package at slightly different...
I got an ad in my email today from APMEX about how low the Gold spot price was and that silver was also down, bla bla bla. Typical marketing...

There is a lot of hype out there, some true, some not, but all are rare exceptions to the hobby. However, even though coin collecting shouldn't...
I struggled with this too. I've collected off and on through the years since I was a kid which has left me with about 20 coin folders all of them...
It's "commercial" packaging, has all 3 steel cents in it with some info about why they were made etc. etc. It's hard thin plastic. Easy enough...
I'll have to try and get a better picture tonight, I was trying something new with my camera and the packaging makes it hard. I just hate to...
No intention of getting it slabbed, just looked nicer than a few others I have. Putting this one away for my son. He doesn't have much interest...
I picked up this Uncirculated Kennedy Half dollar pretty cheap. 2004 is my oldest son's birth year which is why I got it. Anyway, the only...
