Any fans on the board? What do you think of this?...
I'm teaching a class on Counterfeits and Fakes & am looking for examples. If you've been burned or have come across an interesting fake in a bulk...
Some great foreign coins. I've got some of those too! And, ahem, the 1903 peso is from the United States (the US Philippines were a territory then).
Assuming that all of the Morgans turn out to be real, it sounds like you made a reasonable offer (for both yourself and for the seller)....
It looks like at least one of those coins is a XX Cash coin from the East India Company. Probably shipwreck salvage from the Admiral Gardner...

I'd say it's worth a buck or two as a fake. It would make a great example piece for the class on Coin Scams that I'm teaching at the Plano Rec...
Interesting. Some of the early 20th century Australian coins have very odd prices in the Krause catalog.
Any experts on Mexican medals feel like weighing in on this?
Anyone hear of Mae Bozi's Tavern? I haven't had much luck digging for it on Google, but was thinking it might be worth hitting old newspaper...
Thanks - it's up there with Tibetan silver on the 'misleading name' scale, right? I've also run into jewelry stamped "XXk Italy" (ie 18k) that is...
I'm in the Dallas area too (Plano). Maybe we can meet up and search together some time. My detector is a piece of junk, but you never know what...
