They did not intend to defraud anyone, but the crooks found a way to subvert their products. For those who are not familiar with the 1796 half dollar, a genuine example in Mint State can sell for close to 7 figures. A worn one in Fine sells for $50,000 or a little more.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing the crooks have learned, including the Chinese crooks, is that you don&#039;t need to hit home runs to make money in the counterfeit coin business. All you need to do is to hit a bunch of singles. You copy low grade, sometime common stuff and try to trap the new or less than perfectly educated collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
