[QUOTE="imrich, post: 3106298, member: 22331"]Thank You Dan! The general definition for COUNTERFEIT: a fraudulent imitation of something else The general minimum definition for GEM: Has full mint luster but may be unevenly toned (i.e. not corroded). I believe you can easily find corroded Silver coins with a certified "Gem" grade. I can show you numerous to MS67. It's believed you are extremely unlikely to find a Counterfeit coin, much less being of certified condition, and significant value. Minimum potential for damages! The important legal element for determination of a "counterfeit" is "fraud". If you purchased the item raw without a message of authenticity it may be found legally to just be an inexpensive "copy", which many have reported on foreign sites for a relatively token trinket amount, as they are being sold there as "trinkets". We probably are highly unlikely to purchase a raw "trinket" specimen for MS67 TPG pricing. However, It's believed many are purchasing "a fraudulent imitation of something else" for considerably more expensive cost in a MS65, MS66, or MS67 prominently certified "Slabs" of corroded coins.
