[QUOTE="SteveCaruso, post: 2100507, member: 37497"]To actually contribute to this thread in a more serious manner, the fact of the matter remains that counterfeits are only going to be playing a bigger and much more prominent part in our hobby over the course of the next decade and beyond. It's simply a matter of numbers (i.e. the growing numbers that counterfeiters are churning out which end up in the hands of collectors). Many folks think that a subforum will "dilute" what's here already somehow, but information on counterfeits [I]needs[/I] to be condensed and kept in one place. Presently, there is no well-defined place on most coin forums to ask for help with counterfeits, nor a well-defined place to look for information on counterfeits. This is one of the biggest reasons I work on [URL='http://www.TheBlackCabinet.org']The Black Cabinet[/URL]. Other websites have asked to team up with the project to both add to and draw information from the database to help keep it central, but make use of it in a wide variety of ways and places. Perhaps we can work something out like that here?[/QUOTE]
