Contemporary Counterfeits of Barber Coinage page debuts
We have just added a page to the website for contemporary, circulating, counterfeits of Barber coinage. These interesting
items were not meant for fooling coin collectors, but rather deceiving merchants, by passing them off as spending money. Lead or similar other
cast counterfeits are plentiful, but occasionally seen are some die-struck counterfeits in base metal rather than silver.

If you have some
interesting counterfeits, you can send digital photos, and if possible, describe the counterfeit: composition (if known), weight, and estimated
grade. You can send to the website at BCCS@barbercoins.org.
