[QUOTE="Hommer, post: 4171767, member: 73266"]I'm just an unbiased person reading I am a collector, I personally scan every avenue daily looking for and at coins. The amout of fakes that I see has tripled in the last 5 years and I'm no expert so there are probably/very likely many more. It doesn't take a fear monger to see that. As long as there has been innovation and invention, there has been someone who will copy it. Even the Bureau of Printing and Engraving change designs because of copies. They have the most advanced recipes for counterfeit detergents and yet still have a policing agency in a constant battle against counterfeiting. All that being said, there is nothing in a plastic slab that can't be easily copied and to not believe so is foolish, an even bigger foolish mistake is to believe that your competition is an idiot.[/QUOTE]
