<p>[QUOTE=&quot;john59, post: 2140938, member: 73760&quot;]The problem with the book is that some of them are way too damn expensive and made on a limited edition. Half of the dealers do not carry books. Then some of them go out of print and you&#039;ll never find them again. So the question of buying the book before the coin sometimes doesn&#039;t work. Sometimes there are&nbsp; no books on the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for EBay, you have two types of counterfeit sellers. I&#039;m simplifying it. You have the ones who say &quot;fantasy coins&quot; or whatever it may be and sell a low-grade to high-grade counterfeits from China. Everything in their description says &#039;fantasy&#039;, &#039;fake&#039;, nothing about it being real. And then you have the ones who are out there to screw people. I do not consider EBay the biggest problem. There are thousands of websites selling this stuff. Flea markets to shows, all over the place. It&#039;s a common occurrence now. </p><p><br /></p><p>If the American government really wanted to stop this, they could stop the importing of coins from China. Look at all of the millions and millions of dollars spent hunting down the 1933 DE by the American government. Even with all that the counterfeits will always be out there. How to combat this problem? I really don&#039;t know. Maybe a little more publicizing of the problem and when American sellers sell this stuff, find them and it may help a little bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
