Lovely copy of an 1882 Mexico 1 Peso. 1/2 dollar size and marked "COPIA".

Decent looking copy of a Lincoln cent. Marked 1909-1982, presumably to commemorate the years of solid "copper" composition. Also marked 14K, but apparently only plated.

Genuinely poor quality gold 1/4 sized copy of a USA Quarter dollar, dated 1789-1989
Comes on a card marked "Commemorating the 200th Anniversary of the Inauguration of George Washington as the First President of the United States--GENUINE 14-KARAT GOLD WASHINGTON QUARTER". Note the illegal use of "QUARTER DOLLAR" on the reverse.

Very poor quality copy of a St Gaudens double eagle. No date, no denomination, apparently cast. Frequently seen for sale on Ebay.
If this contains any gold, it is a very small amount. Perhaps 8K.

Better quality copy of a 1907 St. Gauden's double eagle
Very thin, smaller than a gold 1/4 and apparently high grade gold (about $2 in gold).
Note illegal use of denomination. Produced by International Monetary Mint and presented in a felt lined plastic holder.

Attractive prooflike copy of a 1908 St. Gauden's double eagle
Very thick, smaller than a gold 1/4 and apparently 24k gold (about $8 in gold). Heavier than most Calgold $1 size pieces.
Note illegal use of denomination.

Decent copy of a 1980 South Africa Krugerrand. Marked 14K, but only about $1 worth of gold.

Cruder copy of a 1980 South Africa Krugerrand. With IMM certificate proclaiming 14K.
