<p>[QUOTE="MentalVirus, post: 1267227, member: 33177"]I don't have much history with coin collecting so I don't know anything about the history of counterfeit coins. Would you guys say that this coin (or both coins) are fairly new fakes? Or were fakes being made for a long time already? Also, what are the signs that it is a Chinese fake as apposed to any other fakes? I'm not sure how much of a 'collector' this guy was because as far as I know he doesn't have any Whitman folders/sets that he was working on. I asked his son about it because that is why I got into cents, have a 3 full sets of folders, one for myself and one for each of my nephews. I normally get a couple boxes a week from the bank to roll hunt and fill in the sets. I'll post a pictures of the 'collection' later, going to eat and watch a movie with my wife now! </p><p><br /></p><p>And it's a little obnoxious if you two are suggesting that I am making "Chinese" counterfeit coins myself. I don't think I would be online posting macro pictures of them saying I think they are fake and looking for input if I were making them myself, I would probably just be selling them on ebay! I guess they wouldn't be "Chinese" then anyway lol. I also don't have a foundry in our apartment! I'll try to talk to his son and see if he knows any more details or if they have found any other 'collections' in his stuff but it didn't sound like he was some serious coin collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
