[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1336575, member: 75105"]The Chinese have been getting smarter at making fakes, even going to the point of buying coin dies previously used at the mint. I've even seen sites selling fakes in NGC/Anacs/PCGS holders, complete with the decal, serial number, and holographic sticker. The Chinese call them "historical reproductions". Well if they are reproductions they need to be stamped "copy" but a lot of them [B]are not.[/B] I hate the Chinese for this. They are trying their best to make coins the same size, weight, color, texture, toning, etc. We[B] really need[/B] to put our foot down and[B] increase[/B] measures to make sure these [B]don't[/B] end up in the country, and to[B] shut down[/B] manufacturing facilities that are making these coins, [B]even [/B]if it requires military force.[/QUOTE]
