<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2142042, member: 112&quot;]No, not those machines. And no, they aren&#039;t being made in straw hut villages. But there are plenty doing this - <a href="http://coins.about.com/od/worldcoins/ig/Chinese-Counterfeiting-Ring/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.about.com/od/worldcoins/ig/Chinese-Counterfeiting-Ring/" rel="nofollow">http://coins.about.com/od/worldcoins/ig/Chinese-Counterfeiting-Ring/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>- and they have been doing it for well over a decade. I think I last posted about this in 2008, and it was old news then.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pcgs-to-display-chinese-counterfeit-coins-dies.40694/#post-421866" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pcgs-to-display-chinese-counterfeit-coins-dies.40694/#post-421866">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pcgs-to-display-chinese-counterfeit-coins-dies.40694/#post-421866</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see in the link above those aren&#039;t exactly multimillionaires in China doing this. And as you can also see they not only counterfeit US coins, but coins from just about any country, and their quality is quite good. Good enough to fool most collectors and many dealers. And that was back then.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have they improved over the years ? Obviously they have, thus the original subject of this thread. So this incoming wave you speak of, it washed over us a long time ago. But what&#039;s worse is that there has been a succession of waves that has never even slowed down and in fact have been increasing in number for a long time.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it seems your skepticism is misplaced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
