<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 283018, member: 66&quot;]One thing you must realize is that by its very nature the forum is biased TOWARD the presentation here of fakes.&nbsp; Yes 99% of the coins on eBay are genuine.&nbsp; We see those and accept them as real and never bring them here to question them.&nbsp; Instead it is that other 1% that we drag into the forum here to ask others if they think they are fake.&nbsp; So naturally the majority of those pieces are decried.&nbsp; It is the same way with the coins taken to the graders at the coin shows.&nbsp; Yes 90% of them are fake or have problems.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because the reason they are taken to the graders is because there is already a question about them.&nbsp; Coins that are obviously genuine or obviously problem free are not shown to the graders for a verbal opinion.&nbsp; Just the questionable or borderline cases.&nbsp; (Some series do have an unusually high number of fake or problem coins submitted but not 90% of all coins submitted.&nbsp; If they was true the services would be having to handle over 10 million coins per year to actually slab the number that they do, and the number of units processed shown on their financial reports does not support that.&nbsp; That is why I&#039;m assuming the 90% fake figure mentioned earlier is for verbal opinions.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
