<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 391264, member: 11521&quot;]I really like counterfeits. I find them facinating. From all the info I have read and heard it is not illegal to possess counterfeit coins unless your intent is to defraud or deceive and it is OK to sell a counterfeit coin as long as you sell it as a counterfeit. (This is in no way to be considered legal advice.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I own a number of counterfeits. I like really, really good counterfeits that fool people, especially dealers. I especially like contemporary counterfeits (that were created out of base metals or at least short on their precious metals content) to be spent as opposed to modern counterfeits that are created to defraud collectors. My favorite contemporary counterfeit is a 3 Cent Silver made from hand-cut dies. I also have a couple of Bust Halves and a Bust Dime. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some of the modern Chinese counterfeits crack me up. I really like my 1848-S Seated Liberty Dollar. (The Mint at San Francisco didn&#039;t open until several years after 1848.) </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Once I get my coin photography skills down I&#039;ll post some of my counterfeit collection. (My Digital Coin Photography course begins tomorrow.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
