<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 781447, member: 68&quot;]I&#039;ve read this many times but I&#039;d wager it isn&#039;t true.&nbsp; I would spot such sets and I have never seen an even remotely suspicious batch.&nbsp; Sure there&#039;s an occassionally suspicious set but these tend to be just as nice as any others so there&#039;s no advantage to making them.&nbsp; And herein lies the main reason I doubt any are being counterfeited; you lose money on everyone you make.&nbsp; Almost all dates will cost more to buy the coins than the sets are worth.&nbsp; There are a few exceptions but then you have trouble with securing envelopes like the &#039;95.&nbsp; Duplicating these wouldn&#039;t be easy.&nbsp; While the coins are cheap enough to make a proifit actually finding some of these &quot;cheap&quot; moderns can be a logistical nightmare.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There may have been times in the past that it was possible to counterfeit them but I&#039;ve never seen them.&nbsp; This applies only to the post-64 sets really but I&#039;d be a little surprised if the older sets have been counterfeited extensively too.&nbsp; Now the &#039;57 and earlier sets woiuld be highly profitable to fake.&nbsp; I&#039;m might not recognize a fake here since I have little experience with them.&nbsp; I&#039;ve heard no reports of fakes but where there&#039;s money it&#039;s safe to predict it can or will happen.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Only the 1965, 1968, 1969, 1970, and a few of the 1986 envelopes have glue on them so they can be sealed.&nbsp; All the souvenir set envelopes have glue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
