Alan showed me some silver dollars that he bought in that were not accepted at the smelter's. They were actually magnetic.

1895 and similar, Morgan Dollars. He had bought in eight of them.

They were remarkable Chinese fakes. They had circulation marks on them... what looked like dirt and grime of age.

An eBay buyer returned a Samsung Galaxy S5 saying that it was fake. I brought over my own S5. Sure enough, a brilliant fake! The size and colors were exactly right, but the screen was not as clear and bright and slightly smaller. The various ports were just a little different, the camera was different, and it didn't boot with a SAMSUNG splash screen. Just plain Android. this item came to us new in a new looking consumer S5 box with an S5 plastic screen protector. Good lord.
