[QUOTE="HappyHighway, post: 2642388, member: 78142"]So, I have the CAPS Album 1800's type set and overtime I intend to fill it. I was thinking about which coins would be tough to buy but not from an expense perspective. I generally buy online since I'm in Germany and can't trust certain coins because of the number of counterfeits. The top coin on my list of counterfeits is the Trade Dollar, namely because I have scar tissue having spent $85 when I was 15 on a fake. Therefore, I intend to purchase a certified Trade Dollar and crack it out to put in my CAPS album. I'm curious if anyone has other recommendations, which coins are highly faked and better off going certified. I know a lot of folks only buy certified so I'm not trying to start the discussion of slabbed vs raw but rather genuine vs fake. I personally love raw coins because I feel closer to it's history. But I of course own many slabbed as well.[/QUOTE]
