[QUOTE="kingplaya4, post: 644078, member: 19677"]I just bought a few hundred dollars in Morgan and Peace dollars off of ebay. This is my first purchase of coins since I was a kid. I'm just looking to collect basic dates in AU except I don't want rediculously overstruck years like the 1921 Morgan. As I've been out of the hobby for years, I didn't realize China was making fakes of Morgans and Peace dollars now. Can anyone help me out with this?
