<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 2529813, member: 23692&quot;]I had mentioned Mike M as the single person who attached and defeated the counterfeiters for Canadian coinage, but he still watches and reports when new ones appear.&nbsp; Almost every coin is an exact (or as close as they can get) copy of a REAL coin.&nbsp; They electronically scan it and then use Cad/Cam to reproduce dies as close as possible to what has been scanned.&nbsp; However, the scanning and laser operated die makers usually can not get the gap at the bridge of the nose exactly right, nor the wrinkles in the portrait/monarch.&nbsp; Mike has an extensive CD that shows EXACTLY what to look for for each denomination or NCLT.&nbsp; If someone could do one of those for every country and make the CD&#039;s available, it would ease things up a lot.&nbsp; Mike gives excellent seminars on counterfeit detection.&nbsp; Again, he used Paypal as the avenue to attack them, as Ebay was not cordial with their interest.&nbsp; Paypal attacked the money involved, not the listings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
