<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3317077, member: 26302&quot;]...and the radial lines and privy are not counterfeitable? My point would be whatever coin design you put on a coin can be copied. For it to be effective, it has to be so perfect that someone who knows what it should look like would know the difference. Um, same as every coin. The reason I prefer coins over bars is that there ARE ways to verify coins if you know what an authentic one should look like. However, adding other designs does NOT change the fact the person authenticating it WILL need a modicum of skill to do so. Radial lines are not magically able to be authenticated by everyone, but every other coin ONLY can be authenticated by coin experts. BOTH require some skill. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=100720]@Good Cents[/USER], maybe. Still how many people whom you need to sell in the future will have these machines? Also, I read this is simply registering dies. With today&#039;s technology, its reproducible. If not today, in the near future. People here a decade ago claimed everyone should only buy slabbed bullion, and that would protect you. Well, today, you better know how to authenticate the coin inside the slab because the slab is reproducible AND a fake slab makes it MUCH harder to prove a fake coin inside.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, it all gets back to a good dealer really. Buy from someone knowledgable at normal market prices. Do not chase &quot;deals&quot;. Most of these fakes being uncovered are being done so by the dealers. Rely on their expertise. </p><p><br /></p><p>If this is all too much for you, I suggest buying junk US silver. Pretty easy to authenticate, very divisible. The only downfall is weight if you start getting a few thousand ounces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
