[QUOTE="christopherw303, post: 1231275, member: 22177"]There are lots of fake coins on the market from China, particularly fake Pandas and fake Morgan Dollars. Unfortunately, lots of these fakes have already made there way over here, so simply avoiding Chinese coin dealers is not going to protect you completely from purchasing fake coins. Here is what you can do to protect yourself from fake coins: 1.) Buy only from reputable dealers. Simply looking at a feedback score on eBay is not adequate; a Chinese seller may have earned hundreds of good feedback points simply buying penny junk on eBay, before they get around to selling fake coins with the confidence they've earned. There are actually excellent coin dealers out of China, one of my favorite Chinese eBay dealers is hangzhouhuayinshoucangpin or 2.) Buy only NGC and PCGS certified coins.

HOWEVER, before you go this route, you should familiarize yourself with the PCGS and NGC coin holders, as there are also fake slabs out there. If you are interested in a coin auction on eBay, and are unsure of the item's authenticity, STAY AWAY. Especially if the seller is overseas, there is a good chance that the coin is FAKE (there are tons of them on eBay, and not just from China). I hope this helps!
