<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brightspirit1, post: 1417611, member: 31437&quot;]<span style="color: #222222"><font face="Times">I have been a coin collector for years, but the fear of ending up with a counterfeit coin or slab has made me very wary of making new purchases. It seems that the only option of being reasonably sure a coin is real, is to submit it on your own for third party grading. In fact, I have only bought coins directly from the mint in the past year. As the skill of counterfeiters improves, this will only become more of a problem in the future. Does anyone have similar concerns? It&nbsp; already has had a big impact on my purchases. Could this spell the end of numismatics?</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
