<p>[QUOTE="dingodonkey, post: 1194262, member: 25354"]Oh man. This is really terrible for those of us who prefer raw coins. I've been seeing even low-grade common-date faked half cents up on the 'bay. There's practically nothing left they're not faking, and getting better and better at. And as they spread out more and more, you can't just look for the bad sellers and judge that way -- good folks legitimately duped are reselling their fakes without even knowing it. It's the same problem now with all the AT silver out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find a lot of early date half cent fakes have reverse features from later dates, etc, but you really need to know the series (and even specific years for EAC) to detect fakes.
