<p>[QUOTE="NOS, post: 472115, member: 2098"]I look at it this way, if the Chinese eventually get so darn good at making a fake that the best TPGs out there can't determine a fake from a real one by examining the coin through a microscope or scale than I say where is the harm? If the Chinese perfect making fakes to the point that I just mentioned than this will put more coins on the market making them more abundant and thus more affordable to more collectors and not just the elite who can afford the big keys. If no one can decipher fake from real than again I say, where is the harm? It is totally psychological, as long as you don't know it's fake than in my opinion having a fake in your collection that you and everyone else believe to be real is just fine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, take note that I wrote in the future tense in the above paragraph. As far as I can tell the Chinese still have quite a ways to go before they get to the point of making "super coins", atleast with their silver and gold fakes. I say that because I've seen Chinese sellers show pictures of weighing their 90% silver coins and the weights have all been far off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
