[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 352015, member: 6370"]Just as a reminder, the Chinese people as a whole are not doing this, just the crooks. They are all over, they are just worse in china at the moment but of course anyone who knows ancient knows that eastern Europe is more often the place they come from, or the middle east. If guys in Bulgaria, china, or turkey can produce even a halfway deceptive fake that can fool a certain percentage of the collectors, then just think how well those counterfeiters in England or even the US and Canada can do with a little more money to work with, maybe even better tech. Those were a lot of dies on the table...hard to tell what each one was, caught a few. Saw, at least, US and brit coins. I saw one example of a fake quarter...it was awful and obvious to anyone it was fake but they do try. Most are not that dangerous to experts and well informed collectors...some are without doubt. As for the forged slabs...couldnt care less as they are no different than a holder....just a holder with a label. take a look at the ancients side of the fake story, just one of many photos :) [URL]http://www.cachecoins.org/coins/4.jpg[/URL][/QUOTE]
