<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26480181, member: 101855&quot;]The old time (1960s) counterfeits, which were made in Lebanon, were made of real gold. Gold dollars were a favorite of the counterfeiters because there was not much gold in them, and the collector value was relatively high. And, yes 1853 Philadelphia piece was one of their favorite dates to fake. It was so bad back then that some people were afraid of that date, which is actually the most common gold dollar date and mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of this stuff sells for less than melt. The term is “scrap.” The way gold is increasing in value these days, it doesn’t seem to matter. Heaven help a lot of gold buyers if the merry-go-round stops, however.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
