<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 26757701, member: 153164&quot;]Yes, buying counterfeits does encourage the manufacturers to make more of them in some cases, but they are also a great tool for educating people on how to distinguish a genuine coin from a fake one. For silver counterfeits, it&#039;s about the small details - die varieties, position of the date, and things like that. Those counterfeits made of silver are sometimes done with great precision, like the &quot;Micro O&quot; Morgans that fooled people for over 100 years, but there&#039;s always going to be some kind of giveaway.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS has an article on the Micro O Morgans, and it&#039;s crazy as to how minor of details they pointed out to determine the coin was fake - back in 2005.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
