<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eskychess, post: 220572, member: 4692&quot;]I was kind of interested in trying to purchase a counterfeit 1944 Jefferson War Nickel. But, then I started to think that if I start collecting this kind of stuff - am I not condoning the counterfeiters to a certain degree? I&#039;m curious does anyone know how the 40s counterfeit nickels came about?? Was it Germany trying to sack our economy much like they did with Great Britain and the famous cache of counterfeit pound notes that have been found. Or was this more local sinisters trying to make a buck - literally I suppose - because man if I was going to counterfeit, even in the 1940s my goodness I&#039;d choose something better than a darn nickel!!! lol Unless someone changes my mind - my final answer to collecting counterfeits will be - ABSOLUTELY NOT! I&#039;m not going to give credence to those that do wrong in any way shape or form, even though I do admit, the 1944 counterfeits and I have held one in my hand are kind of cool.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any info or opinions would be great.</p><p><br /></p><p>Esky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
