There’s been a bunch of fakes going around as of late. Attempted to purchase a full roll of Morgan dollars and a full roll of Peace dollars from a guy and he was trying to rush the deal, didn’t want to give me the time to look through the rolls, claimed he was in a big rush and had to leave(which could have been true). Upon further inspection I noticed a few coins from each roll that just didn’t seem right, I ran a magnet over all the coins and they passed, I did a sound check and 8 of the 40 coins didn’t have that silver sound. I got the scale out and weighed all of the coins, 7 of the 40 missed weight by almost 5 grams and 1 of the 40 missed weight by 11 grams. Upon pointing this out to the guy he got extremely defensive and claimed my scale is rigged. I then explained that silver has a distinct sound when slipped in the air or a stack of coins are dropped on one another, and these 8 coins lacked that. The offered to lower the price from $800 to $600 if I just take the deal. That really through up some red flags. I told him that I know some of the coins are fakes and that I would be reporting the incident to the police. He grabbed up his coins, got in his car and sped off.

Haha “hey this is spot value but I’d knock off 200 bucks if you just let me rip you off still”
That’s rich
