<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2458675, member: 76194&quot;]Fakes are everywhere. I&#039;ve seen Morgan dollar fakes so well done that you need 20x magnification to spot the subtle signs that it is a fake. I&#039;ve even seen fake NGC and PCGS slabs that are so good that they can fool the casual collector. I would say that there are probably as many fake US and world coins and fake PCGS and NGC slabs out there as there are fake ancients, and perhaps more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rule of thumb is that if it&#039;s on eBay, it&#039;s probably a 50% chance that it is a fake. eBay today probably sells more fake items than real items, no matter the category of item you look at. eBay should be called Fake-Bay.</p><p><br /></p><p>The good news is that fakes can be spotted with a little due diligence and knowledge in your part, plus you can always ask others here for advise.</p><p><br /></p><p>One note though to everyone.&nbsp; Anyone can open a FORVM fake report, and some of those reports are a little dubious and lack real explanation. I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if some real coins have been condemned there. While I find it a useful guide, I think there are better websites for that kind of stuff. Anyone else feels the same?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
