<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 666807, member: 4552&quot;]Such articles are OK but lately the Chinese have become a lot more sofisticated in thier counterfeiting. For example many of the Silver coins are made with high grades of Silver since they are being sold as collectors items they bring in enough profit to make it plosible to utilize real materials. Then too they have become well aware of our reliance on TPGS&#039;s to authenticate coins so now they are also couterfeiting those slabs and the coins. </p><p>Many people have such counterfeit coins and slabs and really don&#039;t know that that is what they are. One dealer I know broke open a slab to send the coin to a more well known TPGS and that coin came back a fake. </p><p>Note too if you go to Google and type in TPGS&#039;s you would find almost 100 of them and many are just someone in thier basement. Then too, as we all should know, the Chinese and many other countries just change a letter on an item and sell it here. If you look around for example you would find batteries like Dinocell, Durasell, Duriecell, etc. And no law against that either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
