I received a report a couple of weeks ago that counterfeit Silver dollars arc being sold on the streets by vendors in some cities of Spain. The going Price seems to be in the $5 Range. I wish i could buy Silver dollars in uncirculated condition for that Price i could retire Early. Anyway buyer beware. If you know coins you know that a Low Price for uncirculated dollars is very suspicious. I suppose it s for the tourists and if you Call a policeman the Vendor would say he was trying to sell you a replica not the real thing. Remember if you want to buy coins go see a Coin dealer not some fellow walking around the streets with a tray strapped around his neck. Silver right now is around so an ounce and Gold around $320 an ounce. I know that s a Low Price but now is the time to buy because these prices Are not going to stay Down forever. Also half dollars and other Silver coins Are Good buys at this time. Silver dollars Are still your Best investment according to Coin publications.
