How long before it contaminates CRH?

[rckymtn]

I'm sure some of you are in CRH due to 90% considered "safer" not counterfeit. Especially with high dollar coin knockoffs out there.

NOTE: Reposted from another forum for educational purposes only.

Here is some fake 90%. All are non-magnetic. Diameters are accurate, thicknesses are a little heavy. Weights are a little off (either way) but there is already a lot of variance in 90% depending on the wear. This kind of stuff could easily slide through in bags or rolls. Junk silver is not immune from Chinese counterfeiting by any stretch if the imagination.

By the time see whether it has a cc or not, you'll already be out the money. Say you bought a junk silver roll of Walkers or Quarters and they all came fake.. That's money gone.

Does anybody know how the fakes sound? Seems like that plinky tone would be pretty hard to fake.

I would buy them as long as they are toted as replicas or copies. when I told my dad about counterfeit chinese coins ohhhh did that get his danderuff up. So he didn't buy anything chinese made, except for chinese food (LOL!). Now I am wondering if I should check my silver buillion. I got it in the 80's when I was a kid. Some of them have tarnished, some haven't and those untarnished ones have made me nervous. Now I just need to find a large enough magnet. Wish me luck!!

Sincerely, Garoulady

Probably hemp paper.

Sounds like a magnet won't do any good. The poster already mentioned the coins were almost identical to the real thing, including being non-magnetic. Cut and paste:

2. DO NOT RELY ON A MAGNET TO DETECT A FAKE. All metals used in these fakes are non-ferrous and are all non-magnetic. Of course any silver coin that sticks to a magnet is an obvious fake. White copper is 75% copper, the remainder being nickel and zinc. Other Chinese fakes are copper and brass plated with silver.

Hmm. Those coins look good to me. How much do you want for them? I call BS. Nobody is making fake 1964 quarters.

You CHR guys are a riot.

Was wondering the same thing too. HH, Maverick.

Is it just the picture but those coins honestly look like pewter.

I've seen fake clad, so silver is no surprise.

 

[BuffaloBoy]

I took a class on detecting counterfeits, they are hard to tell, but many have obvious signs of being counterfeit if you know what you're looking for.

 

[Generic_Lad]

Honestly I don't think we'll see many Chinese fakes of junk silver any time soon, let alone in circulation.

Just because it is -possible- doesn't mean its likely. It is very hard to accurately counterfeit silver with not-silver and then for that to really fool someone who has handled a lot of silver.

hard to believe the Chinese used to be #1 in silver production i says it once and I says'n it again, in the 1700s the chinese used to have such high quality Ag, they once denied a whole british ship full of silver because it was of inferior quality. how the tides have changed.
