[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 26518063, member: 16729"]There are many aspects of the hobby with which I am not familiar. One is about what people do when they have a piece they KNOW is a counterfeit. Has anyone here ever submitted a known fake to a grading company? I mean, not to confirm the authenticity (which is a big part of the service that a TPG provides, of course), but to purposely get the coin back in a body bag with the tag marked "Counterfeit?" Is this a thing at all? I know it's considered a waste of money by many, but do some people in the hobby actually collect "certified counterfeits," or more precisely, "(fake) coins in body bags?" Below is one somebody recently submitted and got back as a fake. The owner's not "collecting" fakes like I describe above, rather he IS trying to warn people about a certain group of sellers passing off these fakes of rare South Korean trial/pattern coins over at eBay.
