<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 38411, member: 66"]<Well...now I dunno about EVERY coin hehe...I doubt someone would counterfeit a 1960 Lincoln Memorial cent or a 1000 pesos coin from Mexico dated 1989 that's worth about 2 cents as it is!!!></p><p>Well I've owned a fake 1974 Jefferson nickel cast in lead, and I own a fake 1989 quarter cast in white metal. So even coins of VERY little value do get counterfeited. Their are fake coins coming out of China, and not just the Bust, seated, and Trade dollars. They are even countefeiting chinese cash pieces worth as little as 25 to 50 cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>And we seem to very biased against reported errors because as they said better than 99% of them are NOT real. With that kind of ratio we naturally come across as negative. It is better to prepare the person for disappointment rather than to raise them. Especailly since usually we have no pictures and just a bad description to work from.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
