At a coin show a dealer I know rather well showed me a slab of a famous TPG that stated a MS graded Cent. Inside was a really beat Mercury Dime. I could not tell the slab had been tampered with. He did it to show people that YES, it can be done. </p><p>4. There are extensive reports of China making many of our valuable coins and since that has been so well advertised, they are now making fake slabs for thier fake coins. </p><p>5. Counterfeiting of many products is common. Some countries are nice and change a letter of number on thier fakes. I've seen batteries such as Dinocell, Duricell, Duracl and many others and all are the same colors as Duracell. And carefull buying a camera. There are Nicos, Necons and many others. And if someone offers you a watch with a really famous name for about $30, it cost $17 in China.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
