<p>[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 743722, member: 17557"]Good for you, you can see that this isn't a higher graded coin. I didn't miss out any part of what you said at all, but what you need to understand is not all people will know what you do about the coins grade. There are newbies out there, that will think this coin is real, and a really high uncirculated coin, and will buy it for a lot of money.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I assure you, somebody who knows nothing of the series or the grading of the coin, will buy this coin as a high grade BU, and heck if somebody called this a good strike on eBay, the buyer would, believe them. It doesn't have to be a key date to be counterfeited, it doesn't have to be a good strike counterfeit, or even made with the right metal content to make a profit. People can and will counterfeit easy to find coins, as long as they can make it so, it looks like a BU, they will even include the right metal content as well, just like your coin. They will still make a profit, because they aren't planning on selling the coin for melt, they paid for the metals, and made a fake out of it, to get a profit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
