<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 196097, member: 283&quot;]I think it is important for collectors to make themselves aware of `counterfeits&#039; that may exist for the range of coins they collect BEFORE they unwittingly end up with a few in their collection. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The subject of `World Coins&#039; is vast and many collectors fail to realise that through the ages very few coins indeed have managed to escape the attention of counterfeiters. On the one hand we collectors are fortunate that the quality of the counterfeiters `art&#039; is generally poor and therefore detection is relatively easy. On the other hand, there are fakes out there that are dangerously deceptive. While there is no reason to suspect every coin that comes your way as being a potential counterfeit, it does pay to know the characteristics of the coins you collect as well as make yourself aware of counterfeits that are known to exist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
