<p>[QUOTE="jump4pay, post: 1537050, member: 37347"]Sorry for the delay in my response. The die crack was the most obvious flaw in the counterfeit. There were other smaller details missing like the artists initials under her neck. I wanted to get the word out as soon as I found a large amount of them so people in the coin community could be on the lookout for them. They have been located in Washington, Oregon, Kentucky, Ohio, California, and in the Carolina’s. I have recovered over 500 so far. I am working with the Secret Service (I’m not a G man) to shut down the import of the coins from China. The imported was buying them by the pound (about 100LBS) per shipment so there are a lot out there. </p><p> </p><p>They have also imported American silver eagles, which I collect, were the artists mark is a 3M instead of JM. There are a lot of differences in the counterfeit and if you are familiar with them you can spot the fake very easily. I will attach some photos. I do not have the thickness on the counterfeit coins.</p><p> </p><p>If I get any more information I will post it. Thanks to all that took the time to look at this. Although I have only been collecting coins for a few years, I have found that counterfeiters are undermining this “Hobby of Kings” which I have grown to love.
