[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 2164949, member: 15019"]3D printing is dangerous only because it is a distraction. The best fakes are not made this way now and they will not be any time soon. All the news and buzz around this tech is deceiving. The best fakes are laser etched and replicated with correct equipment and methods. See the coin below. It was copied from a different date, as this date in this condition is very rare, it seems like they could not acquire one. The counterfeiters had to settle for a more common date as the base. As a result, the last digit of the date needed to be changed. The scary part? NGC thought this coin was genuine with an altered date. Any one familiar can see that there is no alteration involved, they just couldn't get the digit modification right. It is 100% modern fake.
