[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2895216, member: 20480"]I'm in absolute agreement, however I suspect the OP refers to counterfeits which are good enough to get past him / her, yet not so good as to escape detection by professionals at the TPGs. Beyond that, if the counterfeit is good enough to fool some of the professional graders, those able to detect it are likely to hold close their means of detection, sharing it only with those who can be trusted not to publish the information for the culprits to learn from. As the counterfeiters continue to perfect their craft, it becomes increasingly difficult for any but the most practiced of graders to catch their works, making whatever information that could be published of greater value to the offenders than the victims. I'm sure it's becoming a tough balancing act . . . determining when the bad guys can make more use of the information than the good guys.[/QUOTE]
