    Well, sorry to bump an old topic, but the second 1809 Counterfeit came in today so I thought I'd post it along with the first two pictures just so you guys can compare. It weighs 2.68 grams.
    This one sure is a heck of allot better then the last one!

    Yeah, MBT bought it privately "off Ebay" and committed a heinous crime.

    That one looks a lot better Snaz, but the newest counterfeit looks kinda crudely made on the eagle's wing. Might have been able to fool me, but I probably wouldn't buy one with that kinda color on it.
    Keep these coming, I want to see how good of a counterfeit you can get on these!

    Nah I'm done with the capped Dime... Although...
    You might show some interest in the 2.5 Gold Indian... ;)

    You know... That ain't that bad of an idea...I think it would be good for me to buy a couple of fakes, and compare/contrast.
    Thanks Snaz, will do... (After I can get this pesky proof indian cent outta the way! I've been talking too long.. Time to take some auction!) :D

    Maybe save your money? I'll be making a post about a gold eagle soon enough.

    Well I'm already up to around $250, gotta get at least another $250, maybe by Christmas...WHO KNOWS! :)

    And I'll look forward to seeing that gold eagle of yours... You know I will be on that past so fast it'll make your head spin :D
