<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 484113, member: 112&quot;]Counterfeits have been a problem since coins were invented. And not just rare or expensive coins, but common everyday stuff you carry in your pocket. You have to remember, the primary purpose of making counterfeits is to spend them.</p><p><br /></p><p>And this China stuff is not new, it has been around for decades.The only thing new about it is that today more people are talking about it and are aware of it. In a way that is due to the internet. Remember, the internet has only even existed for 10 years. Yeah, 10 years - 1998.</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone who was well versed could go around and check the collections that everyone has from coast to coast and identify all the existing counterfeits in collections that the owners are sure are genuine - you would need a fleet of semis just to carry them away.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what is the future ? The futre is that the hobby will carry on pretty much just like it always has. The educated will collect genuine coins and the uneducated will collect counterfeits - even though they don&#039;t know it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
