[QUOTE="Jack D. Young, post: 4159437, member: 93371"]WOW, seems there is more discussion about wording than the actual topic being taught by the OP... In fact one senior member ([USER=59737]@Seattlite86[/USER]) asked " PCGS has graded over 43 million coins, NGC over 45 million. What percentage of these 80+ million certified coins does this "epidemic" comprise?". A totally ABSURD question in relation to the stated topic- really, how many coins have NGC and PCGS put in fake holders and labels? Regardless of the words used to describe the magnitude of the counterfeit slab issue it is Large- large enough to attract the attention of the Federal Government, Secret Service, etc. as well as the ACTF's involvement in specific cases.
