<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 129937, member: 66&quot;]Double check that article, I think you missed something.&nbsp; Back in <b>1972 </b>when ANACS began something like 60% of the submitted gold coins were fake, and 90% of some coins like type II gold dollars and three dollar gold pieces were fake.&nbsp; But ANACS went a LONG way toward eliminatiing the fake coins in the hobby.&nbsp; By the time PCGS and NGC were founded the incidences of fakes being submitted was way dawn.&nbsp; Fourteen years of identiffication of fakes had helped many dealers to learn how to identify them and most were removed by that time.&nbsp; Since them all three services have continued to eliminate what was left of the fakes.&nbsp; I think the overall incedence of fake gold today is probably less than 10% with the type II gold and the Three Dollar still leading the way with the most fakes submitted.&nbsp; That would mean that most other gold encountered is probably real.&nbsp; (Probably less than 5% fake)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
