[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1544313, member: 15445"]Yep. I can tell that the coins depicted are fake. I can have trouble with high quality fakes like everyone else. The two peace dollars depicted are not high quality fakes and are posted only for informational purposes. I actually purchased the two peace dollars in Beijing in the early 1980s. I bought them because they were classic cast pieces showing poor details, incorrect reeding, incorrect weight, incorrect diameter, repeating depressions,....etc. This was at a time when collectors were being fooled by fake seated dollars and commemoratives coming from the same sources. I brought home the peace dollars, and even a fake Washington quarter. I believe these may have been intended to fool the bullion folks and "make their collections more perfect".
