<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yulvando, post: 465291, member: 16279&quot;]Dear Mr. Skrilla</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve visit that web side (coin facts), and I&#039;ve read you story, I&#039;m sorry.</p><p>The point is :</p><p>1. If this coin ( the bust, trade and morgan ) was fake, so they keep the fake coin for 90 years old in samosir island. What for they do that ?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>2. why the same coin was in the USA and keep in local coin dealer for 25 years, they also made fake coin in they home town ? and the value of this coin just valuable in 1990 until now ? why they do that ? this is not circular coin and not legal for trade. Just for FUN ? haha...:secret:</p><p>3. We can argue with the expert who judge the coin genuine or not. Even the spec of the coin is match, because they think of coin business. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>4. Why my morgan 1896 o the expert said it&#039;s genuine and worth $ 13,00 and not trade and the bust in just one look, not in their hand.Fantastic ! in my hand, the trade dollar was pretty look than the other. Can you feel the coin and talk to them ? I&#039;m not crazy, you must try sometimes. Feel the coin, please.:rolling:</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>I just know why people in samosir island collect the coin when I visit the web side (see below )</p><p><br /></p><p>please read this one.
