So you're saying for a novice collector to buy $5000 worth of coins that are fake and when he tries to sell them to you, wow they're fakes. But you didn't lose all your money. You got a whole $50 in silver with it. If a novice buys a fake, we generally lose them from the collecting hobby. If a seasoned collector buys a fake he is pissed off like hell and could probably turn them off too from buying for a while. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin hobby has been going down for years. The fakes are probably just one part of it. The novice collectors are buying coins from the government if they want the silver and gold. Why?
