<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 515219, member: 112&quot;]I doubt that anybody salted a site. It is far more likely that the previous owner, when told they were fakes, just threw then into the ocean. Only to be found later by your brother.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finding these things is really very common, it happens all the time. But then that is because they are sold in Fla. to the tourists by the truck load. And many times they are sold to them as genuine items. Then when they meet somebody who actually knows what the real coins look like and they tell them that they are fakes - they throw them into the sea. And there are a lot of people in Fla. who do know how to tell a fake from the real thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just from looking at them I can tell you they are fakes. The design is wrong, the lettering is wrong - everything about them is wrong. I know this because I spent over 30 years collecting this type of coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now by all means, give them back to your brother. The value of them to him as sentimental items would far exceed what they would be worth even if they were real.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
