A fraud ring circulated circulars touting high value old coins, but estimates show many prices are far from reality.

The circulars claim coins at 400 to 1000 dollars, while genuine worth runs from fractions of a dollar to a few dollars depending on condition. Some coins, like the 15M piece, are rare. only 29 were coined, with values from 70 to 100 dollars. The scheme included counterfeit substitutes and plans to evade detection, risking Kansans being duped.
