Well, they may appreciate until they are declared illegal and seized for being counterfeits, or for not being marked in compliance with the HPA....
No idea, Doug. I can only guess the reason is because of the non-collectors, as you mentioned. One reason these are so popular is because these...

One of the key red flags that I always look for is the dentilation. The dentils are messed up more often than not on counterfeit coins. Compare...
Neat coins. Yours appear to be attractive examples. I have only got one, the Porcius Festus. It is interesting to compare the grades. I had mine...
I've personally never had a hard time with this - I have a crookneck lamp that I can adjust to exactly the spot I like it. It works for me. Others...

Do you know what kind of material the foam is made from? If you can smell it, I wouldn't trust it for long term storage. I believe these types...
I think you mean: add a prominent "COPY" in compliance with the law, and you're still questionable.
I think I'll go with 64 on this one. There are quite a few marks, but none of them really seems that severe and the PL fields tend to magnify...
I don't see anything abnormal about this coin. Could you describe in a little more detail what you are seeing?
Normally, I'm skeptical when people say "look at this super high grade coin, do you think it will get MS-73?" However, I think this time you...
