<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stevearino, post: 7842645, member: 74571&quot;]This spring I purchased a dozen Norwegian coins on Ebay here in the USA, intending to resell them at auction in Norway.&nbsp; Two of them, in the opinion of the Norwegian auction house, were counterfeit.&nbsp; They mailed them back to me, and honestly...I would NEVER have guessed they were counterfeit.&nbsp; The person I bought them from originally won them at a Heritage auction.&nbsp; So, they can evidently slip by them, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I suspect at least one of these was a contemporary counterfeit.&nbsp; The other I can&#039;t even guess.&nbsp; The point is, with both contemporary and modern counterfeits getting so common and folks like me having difficulty detecting 18th and 19th century coins since we don&#039;t handle them enough, I&#039;m afraid I will have to depend on TPGs more often than I would have thought 5 or 10 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the two in question.&nbsp; Would you have called them out as fake?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
