<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3739260, member: 46237&quot;]Counterfeiting is not a black and white thing. There are different reasons for doing it. Even the United States strategically counterfeitted Spanish milled 8 reales at one point. Those are historical pieces - you want to stamp them as counterfeit? No.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many of these coins - even the ones straight up created as counterfeits to pass as genuine coins in commerce - have already done their circulation and at this point are genuine collector items as they are. The TPGs acknowledging historical counterfeiting, especially the instances when it was done by <i>governments</i>, as with my example above and Doug&#039;s ducat example, only serves to further numismatic education and does not promote modern counterfeiting in the slightest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
