<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 752994, member: 19065&quot;]Of course a proof <i>could</i> be counterfeited, never say never.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t be surprized if crooks have already thought to attempt creating them or that they may have already tried to, but to be &#039;convincingly counterfeited?&#039; as the OP asked... </p><p><br /></p><p>Wouldn&#039;t a counterfeit proof be a misnomer? </p><p><br /></p><p>Laying aside the costs of counterfeiting a proof for the sake of this argument and allowing that one day the costs and labor to do so may cease to be a hurdle: If a proof coin is of the highest quality, that stands to represent the best example of a coins design and its minting, then a given proof type coin at it&#039;s highest possible grade, exact in<u> every</u> regard as well as being undetectable by <u>anyone</u> or any TPG, then would it not be possible to call it a counterfeit since no collector, dealer, expert or TPG could detect it as as such?&nbsp; Vice versa the &#039;real&#039; proof from a Mint wouldn&#039;t be any more authentic than the &#039;convincing counterfeit&#039; proof if the above occurred.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
