<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 17967882, member: 101855&quot;]The opposite is true for most all collectors of U.S. coins. They prefer certified coins, especially if the piece is fairly valuable. It is now quite true for old U.S. gold because there have been many counterfeits through the years. </p><p><br /></p><p>The older (1960s) gold counterfeits were made of gold. The contemporary counterfeits that were made in the 19th and early 20th century often do not, but they are usually pretty bad with the gold color worn off the item. I hesitate to call counterfeits &quot;coins.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
