A trade dollar collection cheaper than the dansco??

[Keleum]

I'm not sure if this a tangent post or not?

 

"fake" Trade dollars and the "fake" dansco to go with them for $60.

 

Man oh man, this would really drive tradedollar nuts...

 

Just out of curiousity are these die cast fakes or electrostatic?

They look cast to me. They looked to have been buffed out to eliminate some of the pitting.

[PerryHall]

They even have the 1884 and 1885 Trade Dollars. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!

[James_OldeTowne]

Wow, things are getting more nuts all the time. Those are cheap cast fakes that have been whizzed, for crying out loud....

 

I'd be willing to pay two dollars for the coins, and five dollars for the belly laughs.

It is a rather cool novelty when you think about it...

 

And if you are a true Trade Dollar collector, this would be a great reference...

[Keleum]

Makes me wonder, if we're witnessing the birth of a cottage industry here. Is there a future where the quality of the replica becomes as collectible as the authenticity?

[jesbroken]

Let me warn you all of something in regards to these 'fake' coins that are stamped replicas. Very seldom do they come stamped at all. For the fun of it I bought 3 replica coins--$4 stella, 1795 half dollar, 1913 V nickel-all coins I will never be able to own.All showed the coins stamped replica or copy, yet when they arrived none were so stamped. Now the coins are all stamped with a 'C' which I placed on them to differentiate from actual coins. We don't really need these coins to come here unstamped-I figure there are plenty who know that they are NOT stamped and are buying them for this reason.

Hi, Keleum

 

Eeeeyow!

 

The seller from China states in the auction description "I sell these copied coins only want to make your collections more perfect."

 

Hee, perfect?

I bought my set from the same seller last week!

 

I'll let you know what they look like when they arrive.

 

I thought it was cool how the DANSCO album is even a fake.

 

(I don't believe these are cast, but instead struck counterfeits albeit on non-silver planchets. I base this one 'coins' I've purchased from the same seller...)

Not "perfect"-- he said it would be "more perfect" (perfecter, if you will).

 

I wouldn't consider the collection perfecter without the 1886 and 1887 to fill up the album.

They didn't make those though, right?

[shirohniichan]

I'm sure you can special order the 1886 and 1887 from China. I've even seen 1883-CC and 1798 trade dollars from China. Boy, they have everything!

i like it, what can i say

Hi'ya Comic.. Yeah it's amazing how quickly these "legal" fakes have taken off.

 

Braddick, when you get your set. I'd be interested in your thoughts on them.
