<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fred13, post: 1091149, member: 20688&quot;]@19lyds</p><p>Your right I am not good at detecting fakes. I have no need to however. I only purchase coins from 3 dealers whom I have known for several years. I collect coins because I am fond of the hobby. I don&#039;t scrounge the Internet and attend fleamarkets to buy coins to make a quick buck. Knowledge of fakes and how to stop them serves me know interest. But calling me paranoid Is pretty ignorant on your part because if you were to keep up on modern days you would know that Chinese fakes are getting closer and closer to becoming indistinguishable. Here&#039;s another fact for all of you who think I should become &quot;literate&quot; in the fields of fakes. The Chinese have bought many of the machines the united states used to develop coinage in the past. In short when I collect coins I buy for my enjoyment and only from 3 people. My local coin dealer, one who works at great northeast coins, and my coin dealer in Germany. I don&#039;t buy coins to play detective as some people here enjoy doing. I have no fear of the fakes that are made today. I fear the fakes in the next 20-30 years or so. That&#039;s what I&#039;m &quot;paranoid&quot; about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
