[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 607097, member: 16994"]To back up what Doug is saying about it being a problem for a long time I present one of my rarest and favorite pieces of reference. I wouldn't sell this book for all the tea in China. This is the Diffenbacher Counterfiet Gold Coin guide. This was published in 1963 and has almost 500 pages. It covers world and United States counterfiet gold coins. I know silver coins have become more common to counterfiet lately but this just goes to show that this was such a problem in the 60's that this reference was published... Imagine how many of these are sitting in collections (or dealer cases) as original pieces with patina and toning. Maybe even in slabs?
