<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 472076, member: 4552&quot;]I sometimes think counterfeiting is becoming a fad or just for fun. There are reports of the Chinese making Silver Dollars with the exact same metal content as the real ones made here. Same with some Gold coins. Thier details are getting better all the time also. Some fakes are so bad it is really fun. For example I recently purchased a Walking Lib Half that was so horrible I just had to buy it. It was only on one side and made of Lead. A recent thing is to recoat the 1943 Steel Cent. Gee they sell for about $0.15 each after that. Of course there are probably millions of Copper plated 43 cents out there. I&#039;ve got several of those. Ever hear about that guy that was making the counterfeit $1 bills some years back and he even mispelled Washington. </p><p>Counterfeits and fakes are starting to become a hobby themselves and at coin shows some are selling for more than the originals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
