<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 3221294, member: 20480&quot;]I still keep at least a dozen reminders of how deceptive good counterfeits can be, and could probably find records of another few dozen fakes I was able to return over the years.&nbsp; Not all, mind you, but certainly some of those coins came from dealers we all regard as trustworthy.&nbsp;&nbsp; Several of those dealers have since passed on.&nbsp; Even today, some very good dealers will be completely surprised by the return of a coin from one of the grading services as being counterfeit, or of questionable authenticity.</p><p><br /></p><p>For you not to have seen fake gold coins at any of your local dealers does nothing to convince me that they are not there.&nbsp; After all, it was only 7 years ago when you did not even know what the Red Book was.&nbsp; I cannot expect you to know a fake, and am quite certain you&#039;ve not examined nearly as many gold coins as I&#039;ve bought over the years . . . And I&#039;m not a major dealer. </p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, I did not say that any dealer knows more than a long time enthusiast.&nbsp; I qualified my statement more carefully, writing specifically of dealers who regularly trade in gold coins.&nbsp; The bigger dealers typically buy and sell thousands of gold coins per year, and have done so for decades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
