<p>[QUOTE=&quot;findone, post: 2645278, member: 74077&quot;]So I was wondering if there were any good references out there for counterfeit coins.&nbsp; I walked into a coin shop about a year ago and talked with the owner for a while.&nbsp; At one point he pulled out a small bin of counterfeit coins (mostly morgans) that people brought in to sell to him over the course of time.&nbsp; He said most people didn&#039;t realize they weren&#039;t real - a lot of those people weren&#039;t collectors but people just looking to dump silver for quick cash.&nbsp; Anyway, he had me look through the bin and I have to say most were easy to tell that they were fake.&nbsp; Some were really good and could have passed with some folks.&nbsp; Bottom line it scared the hell out of me.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t want to buy a coin for a long time.&nbsp; Anyone ever get burned buying a fake?&nbsp; Any good reference books or sites out there to help sharpen the eye?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
