<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1119271, member: 13650"]It's a good question and at least you're thinking about those concerns. With those particular bullion coins, I'd say it's highly unlikely that they'd be counterfeit. They're very high quality, most with proof surfaces, that I don't believe counterfeiters are attempting at this time. </p><p><br /></p><p> I know this is somewhat generic for you, but I have quite a few kookaburras and they all come in plastic capsules that have a slight edge that sticks out around the edge of the coin.</p><p> On at least one side, there's a very small, subtle curved portion in that raised edge (I assume for easier opening). I believe this is how they come from the mint. Look for that feature on the capsule if you go to buy them. I haven't seen those types of capsules used for anything else that I've run across.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
