<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3252678, member: 10461&quot;]On a similar note about gift shops at historical landmarks, I saw fake &quot;1700s&quot; British King George halfpennies being sold at the museum gift shop here at <a href="https://www.nps.gov/fofr/index.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.nps.gov/fofr/index.htm" rel="nofollow">Fort Frederica National Monument</a> some years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I do not remember them being marketed as genuine pieces, they all lacked the COPY counterstamp mandated by the 1973 Hobby Protection Act.&nbsp; Ironically, they were all priced at about three to four times what a <i>genuine </i>example of those rather common coins would fetch on the numismatic market at the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
