When I started the adventure of collecting coins earlier this year I bought some replicas. Now I don't want to have them anymore, but am not sure what to do with them. I thought about leaving them in a sandpit when I'm there with my son, but maybe someone here is interested. I could either give them away or swap for any non-replica coin with diameters 30+.

The only right thing to do with fake coins, is destroying them.

I'm not saying replicas are ok and after some reading I changed my mind about them and will not obtain any more. But from what I've seen here on Numista Forum, it is clear that some part of the community is ok with replicas and possibly someone will find these useful :)

Sorry, but what I meant is to get a non-replica coin for these (really anything diameter 30+ could do). I don't want any more replicas, I am getting rid of mine :)

If you are interested, but don't want to swap for non-replicas, I can just send them to you.

​ I have the excuse of my sister in law buying them for me. Poor woman thought they were genuine. What's your excuse?

​Sorry. I was only messing with yvon. I am not interested in fake coins but thank you for the offer. I am sure they are members who would be interested. There are 5 or 6 coins on your list that I don't have so if there is anything of interest on my list maybe we can arrange a swap.

​To my eternal shame: I do not have any serious excuse: I bought them on a local Dutch auctionsite (Marktplaats)...And I thought
they were nice and genuie. Fortunately they were not that expensive. I counterstamped them with 'FAKE'....

What did you use to stamp them?

​Small letterpunches. Which are also used to put a serialnumber into a machine or something like that.
If you like, I will ask my child to put a picture here...

I've see some people put fakes/replicas in 2x2 binders and label them as fakes. If you don't want them, I would be happy to take them off your hands for you if you don't want them :)

I just don't like to see when fakes get into the wrong hands and people sell them as authentic to novice collectors and they get scammed.

​That is why you should destroy them, with a stamp or something, not just write it on the flip, which is very easy to replace
by someone who do not have your good intentions.

​Currently I am talking with one Numista user about these replicas. If it wouldn't work I would send them to you :)
