[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3457000, member: 99642"]I agree whole heartedly with frog on the Junk Dollar, including the quality of the photo, and the counterfeiting. It's hard to make any determinations about anything when the photos are so blurry, also rotate those pix to their proper viewing angle. I know little or nothing about the ones with square holes except that I've seen them called "cash" coins. Now with that information, and assuming it's true, you could conjecture that the coins are all real. That time frame was long before the Chinese began to counterfeit everything in the world they could make a dime on. The American military, including the Navy and the Marines, were in China during just about that time period and somewhat before. The story is very plausible. I would have bought them , given the chance, both then and at the estate sale. This thread reminds me of a movie : " The Sand Pebbles " starring Steve McQueen. Anybody see it?[/QUOTE]
