<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 8141625, member: 28550&quot;]A couple of the Washington Carver half dollar fakes (mildly circulated and apparently acid aged) wouldn&#039;t have gotten a second glance (although their color was off on closer inspection). Weight, size, non-magnetic, all were close enough to right that if they hadn&#039;t come along with, oh, 20 x 1915 expo &quot;gold&quot; slugs, I might not have immediately known they were fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the heavily circulated 1830&#039;s dimes and pennies are dangerous too. Clearly copied from something higher grade and then rock tumbled to create unique wear patterns &amp; obfuscate any casting marks. Also encapsulated Australian bullion silver rounds - they&#039;ve gotten the details dangerously accurate, and who would normally open the capsules to check reeding &amp; weight (the capsule material was a bit lighter than the mint products, compensating for the coins being about 5% heavy)?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
