<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1063629, member: 66&quot;]In the 1950&#039;s and 60 a TON of fake US gold coins of all denominations were being made in the middle east especially Lebanon.&nbsp; These fakes were of the proper weight and alloy.&nbsp; They were basically made because at the time US gold coins were bringing from two to three times the bullion value and it was about the only way Americans could own gold which meant that they had no trouble bringing it back in through customs.&nbsp; So the counterfeiters could take $100 worth of gold, make it into coins and sell it for $250 making a large profit, while the buyer thought they were getting a good deal because they were still buying it for lest than what they thought the value was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
