<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1829147, member: 112&quot;]How ? It&#039;s pretty easy to understand how if you realize just how many altered coins there are out there. There are lots of them, and that&#039;s an understatement ! In many cases, especially for those particular coins, there are more examples of fakes and altered coins than there are examples of genuine coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you could examine all of the collections of raw coins held by average collectors you would be hard pressed to find even 1 collection that did not have at least 1 fake and/or altered coin in his collection. And most of them will have several. And almost all of them will be unaware of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone finds that hard to believe then they should consider this - 80% or more of all raw coins in collections are problem coins of one kind or another. And yes that (problem coins) includes fakes and altered coins. Now you can scoff and refuse to believe that, but if you do you do so at your own peril for it is true.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
