Michael was robbed when he stopped on the way home - while away from truck about 20 min. We all need to learn from this: DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON ON THE WAY HOME and travel in pairs if possible.

A prominent local dealer bought 5 of these counterfeit Gold Proof Panda's this week and told me he was seeing "Bags" of counterfiet silver dollars plus fake silverware.
BEWARE!

A couple of months ago I bought 2 Morgan Dollars from an older gentleman (yes there is someone older than me) at a Hollywood Coin show (he was not a dealer). Both turned out to be counterfeit on close inspection, though they weighted 26.8 grams & were non-magnetic. They were both covered in a dark brown sand which covered up their details to some degree. I removed the dirt and found they had both been harshly cleaned previously. The older gentleman has not come to our show since we did the deal and could not seem to remember that he traded them to me when I called him. Beware of us older people, we may not be able to remember our names tomorrow!




I HAVE TAKEN CLOSE PICTURES OF THE 1880 cc Morgan Dollar and posted them here on this site. http://www.billscoins.us/index.php/en/fake-1880-cc-pictures . See pictures of the 1891CC http://www.billscoins.us/index.php/en/fake-1891-cc-pictures . I also just ordered 13 counterfeit Morgan CC's from China for $39.00 shipping included. I will compare them to these coins .

Morgan CC 's Counterfiets
Terry Balwin reported the following to me at the Hollywood Sunday Coin Show -10/2/2011- and followed up with the following in an email:
"Bill, the following took place at the flea market in sunrise. I purchased seven morgan dollars from a silver and gold dealer.The coins looked circulated and with futher investigation after i went home..I was able to determine that they were in fact counterfit dollars.The dates were not stamped correctly.The stars were not formed completely.One of them was attracted to a magnet.The edge of the coins were not typical of a morgan dollar.I learned a valuable lesson. Research on coins before hand is the best practice. I went back to the dealer and he returned my purchase price.I continued around the flea market and returned once more to the same dealer and in his case was the same dollars.The price was current with the price of silver. The important thing to remember is to gain knowledge of coins."

The easiest way to protect yourself against counterfeit crowns and US dollars is to buy a $20 scale and know correct weights of coins. Most counterfeits are underweight.

A strong Magnet will help also in some cases.

I was offered today one 100 oz bar, two 50's and two 25 oz bars.
all fake.
Weight was off, they did ding/ping/ring right, more or less, there was a little reaction with the magnet, but when acid tested it proved to be bad. Also no pink/purple toning, and also the metal looked cloudier and duller than silver, they were stamped 100 oz 50 oz silver 999
Please forward on to others
Cedric
