<p>[QUOTE="Joshua Lemons, post: 24437618, member: 82388"]Then I'd be very apprehensive in filling them. Too many times the general public is duped when it comes to these counterfeits, heck even some collectors are because the fakes are getting so good. Unless we can somehow permanently mark the fake, it's a no go for me. That being said, I don't complete albums or sets, so I don't have that urge. I think as stewards of the hobby anti-counterfeiting is all of our responsibility. This would include not purchasing unmarked copies of coins. I think there's a middle ground, but I'm not sure what it would be. I do own two fakes, both easily identifiable as such by weight alone...I've been torn on what to do with them myself. I think they could be used as a learning tool, but even though I have them marked in an envelope as fakes, I can't be sure the coins and that information would stay together.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
