<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2183042, member: 27832&quot;]Just attended a presentation by John Frost, current President of the Barber Coin Collector&#039;s Society, about counterfeits, including contemporary counterfeits. He showed an example of a contemporary (intended for circulation) Barber dime struck on copper. I got the impression that they&#039;re not terribly uncommon. Presumably they were silver-washed so they would pass for the real item, but the coating wore off quickly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
