But apart from a couple of altered date mercury dimes, I haven't seen a SINGLE fake of an American coin that would fool anyone who has leafed their way thorough the American section of a Krause catalougue, and thousands of chinese fakes of 1804 dollars. I see way more convincing fakes of Roman coins, etc... So where are the convincing fakes ?? Show me ! J.
