Has anyone been reading NGC's counterfeit articles on US coins?

Was checking out NGC site as they have some interesting articles on Chinese counterfeit coins. Had a look at US coins as well and I'll be honest - they would have fooled me big time if there was no explanation!

Don't know if this has been covered but thought I'd share.

Yep, and it's truly scary.

 

Thank you for the reference. I will check it out.

 

These aren't necessarily all Chinese counterfeits. Some are, but many are from pre-Chinese attempts. Added or removed mintmarks, alterations, and other types of forgeries have been around for a long time. The Chinese don't really do too much of this.

And yes, I read each new article with interest. Paying close attention to these sorts of diagnostics and key identifiers can be very valuable.
