<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evom777, post: 1001596, member: 27123&quot;]About 2 months ago my favorite local dealer got something in His shop that I never had seen before.....A one pound Morgan commemorative silver round. At first this thing was pretty impressive to hold, being a pound and all, but then I started noticing a few things about it.....no .999 or any other designation, no mintage, and the fact that it was a pound....who makes any form of bullion in pounds? </p><p>My dealer was actually selling it on consignment for someone. He too thought that it was suspicious, and after getting permission from the owner He made a cut into it. Sure enough it was silver plated copper. The owner actually did not know it was a fake and was out of a lot of money. He said that He had bought it at a flea market. (who knows if that was true) </p><p><br /></p><p>So lo and behold one turns up on ebay...and the person selling it states that it has not been tested for purity, for that would &quot;damage the holder,&quot; (is this joker for real?!?) and yet it still has some bids. This hustler knows darn well that these are fakes. My guess is that these things are coming in from China. Has anyone else seen these turds on ebay before?</p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2FNew-Giant-Silver-Proof-One-Pound-Morgan-Dollar-Coin-NR-%2F280563616189%3Fpt%3DCoins_US_Individual%26hash%3Ditem4152e509bd" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2FNew-Giant-Silver-Proof-One-Pound-Morgan-Dollar-Coin-NR-%2F280563616189%3Fpt%3DCoins_US_Individual%26hash%3Ditem4152e509bd" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Giant-Silver-Proof-One-Pound-Morgan-Dollar-Coin-NR-/280563616189?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item4152e509bd</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
