<p>[QUOTE="Byron L Reed, post: 28, member: 13"]Don't worry too much about the counterfeiters. Modern die-struck counterfeits are very rarely encountered and easily identified. Older counterfeits are generally easier to detect, but more valuable than the real coins. You should be watchful of real coins that have been altered, though.
