<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 2111641, member: 73489&quot;]Coin, I&#039;ve seen photos on the Web of tons of MSDs in a Chinese warehouse.&nbsp; There must be plenty of buyers for these coins, must be lots of people not able to pick out a counterfeit.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Another factor is the markup to the bullion itself. </b> If you include $12 in silver in an MSD counterfeit, you want to be able to sell them for a big multiple of that bullion.&nbsp; It&#039;s tricker with a Saint, where you are going to need over $1,000 in gold (assuming you are using gold) and unless it&#039;s a very rare mintage or year, you&#039;re going to replicate a common with a mark-up of maybe 30-50% at best.</p><p><br /></p><p>Given who buys what, <b>I think your average Saint buyer is more likely to be a coin expert than your average Morgan buyer.</b> Because there are lots more part-time, occasional buyers of Morgans given the lower $$$ involved in buying them.&nbsp; Saints require alot more money to purchase and the average buyer is collector is probably more knowledgeable about that type of coin. There are lots more MSD collectors than Saints, I think that&#039;s the consensus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, as we have seen here,<b> the &#039;experts&#039; on both coins are extremely knowledgeable. </b> But neither are likely to be looking at any counterfeit coins.&nbsp; It&#039;s the occasional, casual, or gift-buyer who I think is the target.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
