My money is on Real.

and I Doubt the collector they were taken from will ever get them back.

I'm Thinking New Orleans and an Insurance Payout by now.

I wish I could have bought that 1794 dollar.

I would have paid him 20 for it :P

Yeah it does. Not only does the "weathering" look funny, but look at that 1865 Washington quarter. For one, the size of it is ridicilous, not to mention they didn't start making Washington quarters until 1932 I believe. Also, that Indian head cent is funnier. It's huge, and even the large cents didn't look like that, they were copper

Hillarious if you ask me.

Yea, I didn't look at the Pics that Close :P

The 1865 Washington Quarter Should give it away.

and the Indian has no Date just . .

Not to mention if they were all taken together "Size"

I think these cops need to go back to Kindergarten
