Message:: [QUOTE="jcz1, post: 1197110, member: 20494"]Way back in January I bought a roll of "problem dollars" from a well-known dealer. I'm doing a set of low-grade/junk Morgans, so over time I went through the roll and separated into "needs" and "haves" with the "haves" being put away to sell on the bay. Last week, I was getting some of these duplicates ready to sell when I noticed something strange. Even within the square tube, I noticed that one was thicker than the others. So I put it on the scale and it wasn't even close: 20 grams. So, I have to assume it is a fake. I guess I should have checked each coin back more carefully back when I got the roll, but I didn't think I needed to worry about a roll of junk coins from a major dealer. Oops. My question to everyone is now what? Do I just toss it in the trash? I have no idea what it is made of, so that may not be the best option. I alerted the dealer, just to let the company know. They claim they get these from a "major retailer of dollars" so I suggested that they pass along the info. Since the purchase was months ago, and being in a roll I have no way to prove it came from them anyway, I didn't expect anything from them. Which is what I got too - no response at all.[/QUOTE]
