<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 590633, member: 1242"]The previous posts offer some really good tips about Flea Market coin searching and buying! I will point out one thing as a warning. Since quite a few of fake (counterfeit) Seated Liberty, Trade and Morgan Silver Dollars and even a few earlier ones cannot be easily passed on at Coin Shows, folks with the fakes have been dumping them on unsuspecting customers and vendors at Flea Markets and some Gun Shows. So, the Buyer should beware! I carry all of my Gem Loupes and even my Digital Scale for such times when I come across someone selling any of these that just don't look and feel right. These fakes besides the off appearance, feel and weight can usually be detected easily as the Seller usually has 10, 20 or 30 of them in ther' possession. I am not saying that they all are fakes but if a Seller or just some guy walking around selling these type of coins, has quite a few of these and especially Trade, Seated Liberty and earlier Silver Dollars, there is a high chance that most or all are fakes!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
