<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 3614873, member: 15588"]Though this thread originated in 2018, it's still very relevant for everyone on this forum, namely, if it's worth counterfeiting a 2018 AME then it's worth counterfeiting pretty much<i> anything</i>. Someone must see profits off of manufacturing even recent low to mid-range priced coins. The old comforting thought of "it's not worth enough for anyone to counterfeit" no longer holds. Add to that all of the reports of fake slabs roaming around and where does that leave us? I don't feel like I can trust anything anymore. This is the number one reason that I've only bought a total of 2 coins so far this year, one directly from the US mint and the other from a dealer I've dealt with previously. I can't imagine paying $200 - $300, not to mention more, for a great looking coin only to have a magnet stick to it when it arrives. All of this makes me want to run screaming from this hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
