How long before it contaminates CRH?

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.

I found a fake silver quarter once. A 1943 I think? Maybe.
It looked real, just a little.. "oddly shiny" and sounded different.

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

Good luck to you Garoulady

Every coin in this pic I'll buy at current spot. That's how sure I am that these coins are real and certianly not chinese fakes.

Provident Metals hasn't sent any of mine back yet so they must all be real!

I've gotten fakes before, usually in teller trays. Anyone with an eye for silver can pick them apart, unless they're made of silver of course. and in that case it don't matter to me!
