<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rhino89, post: 1153171, member: 21773&quot;]The problem is, counterfeiters are always working to improve their products, so the &quot;Fake Slabs 2.0&quot; that are probably in development already will make sure to fix those mistakes that we find. Having forums like CoinTalk is a double-edged sword - for a collector, the resources, the knowledge, and the people on here are priceless. For a coutnerfeiter looking to improve fakes, it&#039;s unfortunately just as valuable of a resource to see how the market reacts to fakes and offers advice on what to tweak for the next release of fakes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Personally, I&#039;m pretty upset that the hobby has come to this point. There will always be ways to tell genuine from fake, but who has the time to go into a coin shop with a microscope to evalueate the lettering on a label on a TPG case?? I mean, I am there to look at a coin, grade the coin, LOVE the coin, not become an expert on the slab&#039;s minute details to ensure I&#039;m not being duped. Human greed is such a destructive force... if the TPG&#039;s or US government don&#039;t handle this issue in a more substantial way, I predict fakes improving in quality at a MUCH higher rate than the growth in the stops and protections against them that we have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
