MORE ON COIN REPLICAS MADE IN CHINA  Kavan Ratnatunga writes: Your report on the 1833 cent reminded me to write to you about AliExpress. The replica copper coins are difficult to detect. They are now stamping COPY but they didn't use to do that. I ordered one about a year ago and it came without any COPY stamp. They still probably also produce on special order without the COPY stamp. I recently purchased "2019 USA One Dollar Lady Liberty Replica 1OZ Fine Silver Challenge Commemorative Coin" with postage and plastic capsule for US$2. It's silver-plated Iron and attracted by a magnet. No COPY Stamp. If China can produce this Proof quality at this low price, anything is possible.   Thanks for the photo. This work is scary good. It's tough to fool real numismatic pros, but these copies are getting good enough to fool a lot of collectors. -Editor To visit the AliExpress site, see:
