<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2401562, member: 19463&quot;]While we see many fakes, I question the 90% figure unless you are talking about things seen in Chinese gift shops and the charm market where people buy them for feng shui or similar purposes.&nbsp; Can you provide links to numismatic sites like vCoins selling fakes of the common types? Perhaps a higher number of the spades and rarities are fakes and certainly these are things to buy from reasonably knowledgeable sources. Have you seen <u>unmarked</u> fakes from specialist dealers like Frank Robinson or Bob Reis?&nbsp;&nbsp; The problem with world coin dealers on vCoins and the like is that they tend to list only rarities as individuals.&nbsp; Many of mine came from bulk lots intended for those of us interested in representative commons rather than specialist stuff.&nbsp;&nbsp; eBay does seem to be a bad place right now.&nbsp; This blog has quite a list of sellers good and bad.
