LOS ANGELES (AP) - It looked like the "deal of the century," police said, a couple of guys down on their luck on Skid Row, selling valuable old silver coins for $20 apiece.
It was a pretty good deal, too, but only for the sellers. The coins they were peddling turned out to be as worthless as $3 bills.
"They're such blatant counterfeits that all you have to do is give them a once over with your eyeballs to know they're fakes," said Ron Guth, president of Professional Coin Grading Service in Irvine.
