A COUNTERFEIT SUSAN B. ANTHONY DOLLAR

An E-Sylum reader writes:

Here's a counterfeit Susan B. Anthony dollar that had come in a batch of dollar coins from South America for redemption. There's no way to know if it came from the Colombia operation mentioned a couple E-Sylums back, but it might well have.

Thanks! I was curious to see what these looked like. The answer is: ugly. These are so bad they'd be hard to fool the average bank teller, but cashiers and the general public could well be taken in, especially overseas. -Editor
