"'counterfeit' means you are trying to deceive someone, while 'fake' just means it's not the real thing." (fake money is used in the movies) There are untold 'coins' of all denomination and from untold countries; Even, or especially, ancients, that can be found on eBay any given day. And who cares? Not most of the sellers. Certainly not eBay. Not even the prestigious ANA! We have all tried to get it stopped. We've done our part, besides, who gets hurt. An unsuspecting collector. Of course. It will likely stay in his collection until he dies. There are many buyers who like these counterfeits/fakes. They take them to the flea markets every weekend and another unsuspecting boob gets taken. Who care, right. Do you know that every denomination, every year of every coin that the US mint ever made is being sold by the Chinese? Even other countries are getting in on the action. But who cares.  I know one guy who cared. The guy who bought an uncirculated set of Lincolns, in a nice new album, with the only 'authentic' coin being an AU 1909-S VDB. Great, right? He got an AU '09-S VDB. Every other Lincoln was counterfeit! Guess how much money he lost? And, I was the one he got mad at for telling him what he had done. Who cares? We all should. Everyone needs to band together and fight this![/QUOTE]
