<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8648230, member: 101855&quot;]Some collectors are very militant about remaining ignorant. I am in the process of leaving my local club because a loud, militant group has hijacked it. They don’t want to learn about hobby. They want to have swap meets, “ice cream socials,” chips, cookies and soda pop.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted to give a presentation about the ongoing problems with counterfeits including the pieces that are ending up in certification holders. They wanted nothing of it. I won’t be around to see it, but the day will come when somebody will come to a meeting and stick some of them with some counterfeit Chinese made “silver dollars.”</p><p><br /></p><p>Those things are out there and some of them are very dangerous. Buying common dates in circulated condition will not protect you. Those pieces are the stock and trade of the Chinese counterfeiters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
