<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1402786, member: 26302&quot;]In numismatics, &quot;fake coin&quot; covers a wide ground. The most acceptable fakes are those made to pass in the day, not made to fool modenr collectors. These are collected many times by those collecting official issues. Then there are fakes made to commemorate the originals, again though not intended to fool anyone. Paduan coins in the 16th century were such coins, and are widely collected.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, modern reproductions of collectible coins, made with the intent to deceive, (not having the legally required COPY stamp), I have no idea why they would sell for high prices. The only reason I would see someone paying strong prices for a good fake would be if they intend to deceive someone further down the line. Maybe not even sell it to them, but show it off and brag how great a collector they are. As you can tell, I have no use for fakes unless they are properly marked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
