<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2226709, member: 26302&quot;]One has to ask the question, if a counterfeit is so perfect it cannot be detected does it matter?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The reason I do not worry is I buy coins for my pleasure and knowledge. If you buy for that, counterfeits are not a big deal. One thing I would say, is that counterfeits will be a bigger problem for modern collectors than ancient ones. Ancients were hand made with diagnosed dies. That is harder to counterfeit in my view than something made with a machine. Machine made is simply copying the hub of a legitimate example and using similar machine settings. For ancient coins, style is a huge factor, and something we pay attention to.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Maybe in the future it will be a concern, but in 50 years I will be gone anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
