jjjordanov Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Do you guys have any idea how much each of these coins worth? The year on it is 1880 The year is 1924 And this one is 1885 If you can ball park it for bad condition and good condition it will be great. You can email me at jjjordanov at gmail.com Will try to get descent pictures later. These are taken from skype web camera conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 From those pics, I'd say that all three are likely modern copies. Ballpark value about 0, as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I think we'd need some decent pictures to be able to tell for certain, but I'd say with 99% confidence that the 1800 silver dollar you have is fake, since the value on a genuine piece would be over $500.

mmarotta Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Do you guys have any idea how much each of these coins worth? Nothing. They are "arms length" fakes. Anyone with any time in this hobby should be able to tell from three feet away that these are phonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjjordanov Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Here are some more photos: even if they are fakes, do they worth anything? I am not a collector and don't know anything about them. It just so happened that a close friend of mine got them and was asking me if they worth anything... I am wondering if we can get some cash. Does it even worth it to go to local numismatic studios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corina Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 does the term FAKE come to mind cause they are value- ZERO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjordanov Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thank you, I was hoping we can get some easy money for them, but obviously that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarotta Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Thank you, I was hoping we can get some easy money for them, but obviously that won't happen. I suspect that this guy is beyond the reach of US law enforcement. More subtly, he simply does not understand the ethical problem with fakes. We see this from former communist nations where the capitalism of Benjamin Franklin and Adam Smith has yet to replace that of Al Capone and Meyer Lanski. Give them time. Meanwhile, keep them away for another generation. I never goto a website with a dot.ru domain name because you stand a good chance of losing your computer to a zombie attack.

just carl Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 even if they are fakes, do they worth anything? I am not a collector and don't know anything about them. It just so happened that a close friend of mine got them and was asking me if they worth anything... I am wondering if we can get some cash. Does it even worth it to go to local numismatic studios? I'm having a problem with this entire subject. For example if those belong to someone else, why doesn't he do the posting about them? If those are someong else's coins, why are you saying WE? As you pointed out you know nothing about coins and state NUMISMATIC STUDIOS. So what did you mean by that type of place? My suggestion is for you to take them to a coin store and ask them what a fake like those are worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
