<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1085547, member: 11521&quot;]Ron, that is true of the <u>cheap</u> Chinese counterfeits we are so familiar with. But the Chinese offer higher-grade fakes that meet US Mint specs for alloy and weight. The Chinese counterfeiters sell those higher-grade counterfeit coins for much more than the cheap fakes (the highest-grade counterfeits sell for hundreds of dollars rather than a couple of dollars). These higher-grade counterfeits are much more difficult to detect because 1) they meet US Mint specs 2) they are usually struck with better dies and 3) they are struck with more pressure and have more detail.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
