<p>[QUOTE=&quot;edteach, post: 24861978, member: 85141&quot;]I have collected areas where items were faked very heavily. The older fakes were the ones easy to tell as they were not as sophisticated. The collectors would even have categories of known fakes for comparison to other collectors items. Has anyone thought about doing that here? Putting up a fake category so we can post fakes as they come up? </p><p>From what I have seen of faking and counterfeits the fakes do not usually make one or two they make a bunch. You may see older fakes pop up her and there but newer ones usually hit the market it a wave. You will see a particular fake all over for a bit.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Chinese are faking Morgans right now. They are all over the place and would fool anyone not into Morgan silver dollars. I have two I bought to study and try to get a feel for what is out there. I bought a PMD Sigma to use to test coins. So far its picked out the known fakes I have in silver. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the Ancient fakes are just obvious and to me are really made as copies not counterfeits. Personally I have bought a few off of eBay. Only low end coins and graded and cased coins I can look at the grading site to make sure its the same coin. I then buy from Vcoins where there are dealers who can not afford to mess around with fakes. It would destroy their reputation to knowingly do so. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway if you have counterfeits or fakes post them here for us to look at.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
