<p>[QUOTE=&quot;monetarium, post: 2139369, member: 10941&quot;]Wow, it is very interesting (and upsetting) to see how much fraudulent stuff is out there... While some of the examples given are obviously not real, there are many that are very difficult to catch (at least by the naked eye.) If the old methods of detecting fakes (tingling, weight, rims, details, magnetic tests, etc) aren&#039;t good anymore, then what options do we have??? You don&#039;t want to use acid to test a coin and on top of things, I read that some fake coins are actually made of silver/gold? Even fooling certificating companies???&nbsp; I guess you always have to use common sense and trust your &quot;instinct&quot; (like distrust for anything that has &quot;China&quot; in it), but what else can you do to protect yourself?&nbsp; It is true that now even a perfect feedback is not good enough on eBay and honest dealers sometimes will sell fake coins not knowing that they are not real, so, what comes next??? It is saddening that our beautiful hobby is under attack...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
