Getting minted everyday!!!!

http://coins.about.com/od/worldcoins...rfeiting-Ring/

I can't tell the difference...These look like 68's, 69's and 70's...Look like US bullion strikings...
Amazing how those communists don't have a law against this, but I answered that by saying communists..

This was posted last November. Already knew. This is why most people don't understand when I say you can't even trust a common Morgan to be authentic anymore. Or even a silver quarter for that matter.

This has been discussed at length here. Coin World ran an excellent series of articles (3 in December and one in January) on the Chinese counterfeits. You should get a copy of those CW issues (or read them on-line if you are a subscriber) and also do a search on CoinTalk for "Chinese counterfeits".

Plus I would imagine the holo seals would be hard to fake
I knew there was counterfiting going on alot of people on ebay just plain avoid China sellers. But I guess we just have to really educate ouselves. Is that enough?

tmoneyeagles

as long as dishonest people roam the earth, it will never be enough

The interesting thing in China is, when you try to buy fakes there they want more money for the fake stuff than they do the real stuff when you are in markets etc.

I bought real coins and banknotes there, but could drive easy bargains on them, the fakes on the other hand, they priced them firmly - maybe to give them an air of authenticity or something. I never managed to buy any 1799 Morgan dollars etc. because I was never willing to go their prices.

I did find some interesting modern gold pandas etc, along with some Ming dynasty coins that I collect.

What is weird, is that now I don't by raw anything...Unless it is paper currency or wheaties...silver dimes, barbers etc

I'm too afraid to buy raw morgans now
I think buying NGC morgans is okay, but who knows, there might be fakes in that too!
Well, lets just hope we all have some real ones! lol
I hope I do!

It's hard for me to buy a loose Morgan anymore. I've done it but I always cringe because you just never know. The new counterfeits are excellent and obviously meant to fool. It's not like you can expect some glaring defect to tip you off. I'm so paranoid, I can look and look at what's probably a real one and yet find something suspect and pass for one reason or another.

Most here suspect a percentage probably pass as real ones through the TPG's as well. The uninformed and casual collector doesn't have a chance.
