Do we have any collectors in here of fake gold coins. Not cheap recent Chinese Alibaba ones.

I go through lots of coins and I have found a few from time to time.

Now I have a fake $1 1850's USA and a fake Italy 1882 20 lire coin. Both WAY underweight.

Looking for value if any and if these interest anyone.

I have found two fake 2 peso gold coins over the years, both way the heck out in the sticks at old haciendas. The funny thing is both were from years that that particular coin was not minted! I guess they figured the good ones were minted in 1919, and 1920, sure why not make a 1921 before people knew the difference. The fakes were probably made in 1920 assuming the mint would actually make a 1921 but never did!
