[QUOTE="jgenn, post: 3307549, member: 78525"]Hey I got the quote from the other thread to show up! That's fine for you but what about the next person to buy it? There are many examples of COAs that people do put some faith in. A good example is the El Cazador coins in NGC slabs. Yes, modern processes allow them to be cheaply made from base metal and the shipwreck appearance can hide otherwise obvious markers of a forgery. Do I have proof that this happens? No, but there really is a big problem with forgeries and it just seems to be an obvious way to sell one. Authenticating an 8 reales without surface damage is extremely difficult as it is. Take a look at [URL='https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=337552']this thread[/URL] to see what I mean.[/QUOTE]
