<p>[QUOTE="Cuthbert, post: 3201214, member: 98383"][ATTACH]828589[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]828590[/ATTACH] I bought a silver 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition Half Dollar for $4.95 and free shipping. I figured the coin was damaged / marred with something that didn't show in the picture. If it was as advertised I was getting a phenomenal buy. The coin arrived after 3 weeks. The coin looks nice. I'm a new collector and like to hold the coin in my hand like I did when I was 12 years old and collected pennies. Then I noticed the copper color on the edge of the coin. I dropped it on the floor and it sounds like a clad coin. No ring. More of a dull splat. I looked at the packaging and saw that it came from China. This was my first and hopefully last encounter with a fake. </p><p><br /></p><p>I kept the coin thinking I should turn it in to the Treasury as a counterfeit. Is that what I should do? Or should I take my Dremel and engrave "Fake"?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
