<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2660016, member: 24314&quot;]Many fakes are inexpensive.&nbsp; Last year I purchased a collection of over a hundred for $400.&nbsp; They included U.S. and foreign.&nbsp; About twenty of the coins are really deceptive and they are the only ones I actually wanted.&nbsp; In the old days Junk boxes were full of lead cast Morgan, WL, and Barber coins that you could get for a quarter. </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with the deceptive fakes is someone paid big money for them at one time.&nbsp; Even one of those old 1909-S VDB cents with the &quot;funny shape S&quot; can get expensive.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been trying to pry one of the State-of-the-Art 1795 Dollars that got slabbed a while back from a dealer who has two.&nbsp; No luck so far.&nbsp; He&#039;s into them for $$$$. </p><p><br /></p><p>Counterfeits are very useful.&nbsp; Even the ANA has a collection they use for teaching.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
