I would think that minting counterfeit change or bullion coins is more difficult than currency. Less profitable, too.
How widespread is the counterfeiting of ASE's and AE's ?
I believe the price has moved UP for the 1857-S's....though less so for the SSCA's. This article is dated, but interesting. I believe the prices...
Iron meterorites show these traits; stony meteorites do not and are more likely to melt into glass silica and/or break up and evaporate.
No way, unless about 20,000 are found in MS-65 and higher. :D

If it grades MS63, how much is it worth ?
Yup, ditto bills. Just like in the old days of baseball free agency where you only needed One Dumb Owner, you just need One Dumb or Desperate...
The numismatic premium to face value is what would scare me, both in absolute AND relative (%) values. Even at $1,000...the premium in % terms is...
