<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 725646, member: 15929&quot;]I disagree since a lot of these are really, really bad and can be detected with a simple 7x loupe.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u8/lcl1119/IKEs/1971S%20Counterfeit/90318-DSC06966W.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u8/lcl1119/IKEs/1971S%20Counterfeit/IKE1971-SCounterfeit-06.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Reasonable folks learn from their mistakes and if they are even remotely serious about what they spend their money on, they will do basic research.</p><p>After all, folks that bought Edsel&#039;s and Corvair&#039;s didn&#039;t quit buying Ford&#039;s and Chevy&#039;s.</p><p>Counterfeit coins were around way before the Chinese jumped onto the boat yet those have not soured the hobby. Some of these were actually quite nicely executed and even fooled the experts yet the hobby has not suffered. If anything at all, cynicism and those that promote cynicism are the hobby&#039;s worst enemy.</p><p>There is a good side to the Chinese counterfeit plague and that is that it has made folks aware that these do exist and they need to educate themselves on really looking at what they buy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for the investor&#039;s that end up with bad &quot;investments&quot;, you should hope that they&#039;d stay out of the hobby to begin with since these are the very folks which have perpetuated the hoax behind the rarity of the Jefferson Missing Edge Lettering dollars. The prices are still way out of line with reality and that you can blame on investor&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
