<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2498515, member: 36230&quot;]What part about a fake Rolex being, well, a <i><b>fake</b></i> (meaning NOT REAL) <b>Rolex</b> and a genuine coin being a <b><i>genuine</i></b> <b>coin</b> do you not get? Would you label as &quot;fake&quot; a perfectly genuine Rolex that some schmo had plated? No, you wouldn&#039;t; you&#039;d call it &quot;plated&quot;, &quot;damaged&quot;, or &quot;altered&quot;, so why is it so otherworldly difficult for you to grasp the same should hold true with coins? A Rolex isn&#039;t valuable because it&#039;s just a watch, but because it&#039;s a Rolex. Your example is more akin to someone trying to pass off a modern fake (coin) as the real deal, and has little connection to the issue at hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re the one who has gone on about caring so much for newer collectors, yet seem oblivious to the FACT that you very well could be confusing the very individuals you wish to be helping. If you wish to label your plated dimes as &quot;fake&quot; in your personal collection, that&#039;s fine. If you want to call your dog a cat in the privacy of your own home, it&#039;s your call, but it&#039;s time to accept that in this hobby the term &quot;fake&quot; shold not be applied to simply altered coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and if I&#039;m getting on your nerves, too bad. As long as you insist on posting indisputable misinformation, I&#039;m going to counter it. The fact that I&#039;m not the first who has promised to do this should suggest something to you. I couldn&#039;t give a rat&#039;s behind if it bothers you; those coming here for solid advice/info deserve better than what you&#039;re giving them. This forum already has enough crap spewed on it, so please do consider not adding to the problem, especially over something <i>this</i> ridiculous.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
