[QUOTE="rosethe, post: 942754, member: 21556"]Hello all, I was at the Summer FUN show today! I took a few pieces in. Among the photos I have posted in THIS thread, since Nov. There is one confirmed COUNTERFEIT! Can anyone spot it? (I know the photos are crap) ICG man told me, and he said it was so good, that it would fool 95% of the dealers here! So, I took it to one dealer that I 'guessed' might be knowledgeable, and he was not fooled at all! He nailed it. He didn't want to 'break it to me', but I told him that he was the 'second opinion', and I had already been 'let down'. He complimented me on my 'approach' concerning these coins, that I wasn't some 'nice lady' who simply sits down and says: I have a bunch of coins and I have no idea what they are worth! What will you give me for them? I might have been a bit more educated than that, but my demeanor was 'nervous'. I was completely overwhelmed with all the booths, and who to approach. (I do remember the shows from my childhood) I'm going back tomorrow, to submit my 8 free submissions, to PCGS. (with membership) They need to be rather valuable coins to get my 'moneys worth'. So I was thinking the best dates/conditions of the St. Gauden's??? They do accept foreign, so what about the 50 Peso, or the Peru coin? Anyone see anything else in the photos I've posted that could be a candidate? I wish I could tell my father about the counterfeit. I can see him slapping the arm of the couch and swearing! heheheheee.... Guess? Anyone?[/QUOTE]
