[QUOTE="frankjg, post: 4026379, member: 17567"]Preface - I didn't take a picture so don't ask Wife and I were walking around a few local antique shops today and I stopped by one of the dealers who typically has some coins (pile of world coins, Buffs, IHCs, etc..), nothing special but something to pick through. I was really dismayed to see he replaced his inventory with a huge pile of Chinese fakes.. real Ali-baba garbage. A bunch of fake Trade Dollars, Morgans, and foreign stuff. None of them had copy or any marks ID'ing them as being fakes. He had written on the 2x2 "restrike". It's one of those co-op antique places so I couldn't speak with the guy and tell him he really shouldn't be selling them since he was not on-site. I'm thinking of going directly to the local Secret Service office and letting them know. Thoughts? I really don't want those things escaping into the wild.[/QUOTE]
