[QUOTE="Catman, post: 31098, member: 1979"][b]Fake Trade Dollars...[/b] Come on folks... Here you have 50 U.S. Trade Dollars that are being offered for $3.00 each shipping included. Can any one of us believe that they are real..? I don't think so. What bothers me is the person buying them. Who are they going to attempt to pass them on to..? Opps... they are now in our market. Only a few dealers can spot these. They are very good. I once watched a man come into a coin store hand the dealer one of the Fake Trade dollars and wanted to sell it. The dealers eyes lite up like a Christmas tree. The coin looked like a AU-55 from where I was standing. The dealer fooled around a bit and told the man that it was a nice piece and graded a full Fine..! He gave the man $40.00 for the coin and the man left. He said that was a heck of a deal what do you think as he tossed me the coin. I tossed it back to him and told him he overpaid for it because it was a fake..! His jaw dropped to the floor as he said it wasn't and asked How do you know.? I told him to drop the coin on a scale and that he would find the coin was too light to be 420 grains.
