[QUOTE="ldhair, post: 25494689, member: 11540"]I spent about 40 years importing products from China. I learned to be really careful with everything. They will counterfeit almost anything and many folks in the US helped them. Someone in the US would send them a sample of a product and China could create the tooling and be making product in only a few days. When they found something that made a good profit, they went into high gear. Once the US factory caught wind of it, it was too late. The counterfeit item was already being sold all over the US. All the factory could do is have lawyers send out letters to those in the US selling the counterfeits. The letters were a demand to see invoices and to pull the product from the shelf. Customs did not have a chance to stop the flow. At this point there is no way to stop counterfeit coins or the holders from coming into the US. Those in the US that make copies of coins did not help the matter. We can all be thankful for folks like Jack that take the time to teach what we should be watching for.[/QUOTE]
