I am getting really sick and tired of Chinese counterfeiting and even more so of the Americans who are facilitating it.

I base my value of coins, not on the markings on their surface (color of their skin) but on the content of their metals (character).

It is suspected that China gave the tech to do this to the Norks for a share of the funny money they produced...

Morgan silver dollars, and Standing Liberty silver dollars are rare collectable coins, and worth FAR more than face value even when pretty worn, which the ones in the video weren’t. He said one of them was (if real) worth thousands of dollars.

Numestatic value is not going to mean a damned thing when the sh*t hits the fan. Only the silver content will count.
