FAKE SILVER DOLLARS

I would like everyone to know that the guys selling the Silver Dollars on base that they are fake and not worth anything. I bought several of them thinking I had made a good deal and found out they are counterfit from China.

Authorities such as SBMA Law Enforcement Department and the Investigation Office should do something about the activities of these unscrupolous individuals vitimizing unsuspecting tourists. They are usually around the vicinity of Subic Hotels and approaching tourist as they dis embark from buses

  • Thanks for posting this. I am looking for material to show a Los Angeles Police Department officer who found a bunch of these on Skid Row, where they are being sold for $20 apiece. Originally they though they were stolen from a collection, but it looks like they are just Chinese counterfeits bought for a dollar or so apiece wholesale, and sold by scamsters. -Kevin Akin, Secretary, San Bernardino Coin Club (California)

    i want to second this. I was very foolish and bought 4 silver dollars off the street in Manila, being told they were from the seller s "grandfather" They are complete fakes from China, made from copper/nickle. Don't be taken like I was. It was my own fault for being greedy. There are many sellers, I was anidiot and jumped on the first one, I am $70 poorer for it.
