<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 6902, member: 487&quot;]rolltide,</p><p><br /></p><p>You have to be careful with counterfeit currency and coins. </p><p>Especially ones that are still in circulation. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most modern forgeries are not very good. Currency tends to be a lost art. It is too easy to use a quality copier and bad paper. If you look for obsolete notes, these were done by using actual counterfeited engraving plates. Fantastic pieces.</p><p>Some of the better ones actually sell at good prices. Check with the larger currency dealers for any they might have.</p><p>Coins are a little harder to counterfeit these days. The most current I am aware of is the Platinum tenth ounce. </p><p>Many old counterfeit coins can be found. The Spanish Reales of Eight is a heavily copied coin. Usually they are cast, but still cool conversation pieces.</p><p>We have many counterfeits that we use to educate others. We permanently mark them, so that they will never again be used to fool a collector. </p><p>I would suggest that if you wish to obtain some examples that you let as many dealers and collectors know. This way you can have many eyes looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
