<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Herberto, post: 2226675, member: 74222&quot;]I want some empathy into how collectors’ attitude towards counterfeiting is, and as well do I have some questions regarding this. I want to ask those who have been collectors for many years. It rankles a little bit in my mind if people about 50 years would be capable of making counterfeit so perfect that it would kill the numismatic hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>I want to ask:</p><p><br /></p><p>1)Do you think that internet has a positive, negative or none effect on counterfeiting? – In forvm or forgerynetwork there is a database on fake coins, and as well can a debate forum help one if he has a suspicious that his coin is fake. But on the other side one who might intend to make counterfeit can gain valuable information as well with internet. – How has internet affect numismatic hobby in term of counterfeiting?&nbsp; Would numismatic hobby have been better without internet?</p><p><br /></p><p>2)Are people who make counterfeits better skilled today than for 10, 20 or 30 years ago? With eventual newer tools or equipments and with access to internet, have anyone of you noted whether these people have improved their skills?</p><p><br /></p><p>3)Do you think that people in the future, about 50 years, would ever be capable of making counterfeits so perfect 100% that it would kill numismatic hobby? I mean the technology improves whole time: Deaf babies today with Cochlear Implant can manage to hear and talk. Television was fat once, today we can see football matches on Smartphone. Apparently there is no limit. - Do you think that people in the future would be capable of making perfect counterfeits in such a way that it would be impossible to detect counterfeits from genuine?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
