Some of the best counterfeits I have seen were the Platinum tenth ounce coins a couple of years back. On a quick glance, they were great copies....
There are some very good points in this thread. For the collector that truly knows their material, many good deals can be found. Most dealers do...
I own this book, and it is not a great referrence book. Not even a good one. It does however as GD pointed out have pics of the most wonderful...

Actually the mint does make this known. All returned sets are placed on hold until the run is either sold out or ended by the date mandated. If...
