chinese made "presidential coins" -- including throdore roosevelt * 1901-1909

oppsie guess they screwed up on this one --by accident or on purpose ?-- theodore roosevelt* (correct spelling --they had throdore*) was in office when the chinese were forced by the western powers to open their country to western trade -- and seeing how things are going trade wize these days maybe that wasn't such a great ideal , after all. --these dollars are made to appear to be silver dollar sized coins in look and apperance but their just plated -- they stick to a magnet like crazy so inside their either steel or nickle based.

however their are kinda cool in a non money token coin sorta way. theres 12 differant coins in a set -- washington, jefferson (with chinese letters by him on front), madison, lincoln, grant , throdore roosevelt *( miss spelled) , wilson, FD roosevelt , truman, eisenhower, nixon, reagan

I got 2 sets in a trade

The Chinese have made an occupation out of counterfeiting coins. EBAY is full of their junk. I buy some Korean and Chinese stuff.....but not from Chinese. Problem is, some of the stuff is being purchased in the States/Canada, and then back on EBAY.
Not worth the lead/zinc/whatever it's stamped into.

yes without a doubt the chinese have been faking known collector type coins for years --- but these aren't fakes of any known coin that I know of . -- they have the white house on the rear with the great seal over it (a small one) and the words --- the united states of america ----on the front is a bust of whichever president -- the date served to from and his name . --- not a coin really since no value is stamped into it -- more like a token
