In fact, IHC fakes may become accurate enough and plentiful enough that future collections will become riddled with worthless numismatic forgeries....</p><p><br /></p><p>That is, unless collectors specialize and become experts in what they collect. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Our first line of defense are communities like this where collectors share their expertise--to benefit all. This is essentially more about <b>education</b>, than calling out specific sellers of fakes. But just so I make myself clear--discussing the merits of a coin <b>is not the same</b> as speculating on the motives/intent of any seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>After all, the middleman isn&#039;t really important if we learn how to detect forgeries. I&#039;m constantly learning, to protect myself. For a lot of the coin series I collect, sophisticated forgeries are beginning to show up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
