Scottishmoney Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 If it has "In God We Trust" on it, it is a fake. That motto did not appear until the 1860's. These coins are being made in China and are a problem in coin collecting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
