<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1922083, member: 24633&quot;]With the price of silver currently at $19.55, a Morgan dollar would contain $15.12 worth of silver in it. We already know that the mints in China are able to make first-rate copies even to the extent of aging them, artificially, to appear circulated.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, what is most disconcerting to me is what would happen if the price of silver remained at this level or possibly drop even further? What would prevent these counterfeiters from using real silver in the coins? If they can turn out a nice MS64 or MS65 coin for a cost that low and sell it for a tad under the going rate for authentic coins of that grade, they would still be making a huge profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Who says that they have to produce fakes of the key dates? The markers for most of these coins are too well known, but how many of us (me included!) are well-versed on the myriad die pairs that were used for most of the common-date coins like the &#039;21 PDS?</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
