<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jjack, post: 1322744, member: 33596&quot;]Actually what is happening is we are starting to see Fake slabbed coins hitting the market, rather than go thru the trouble of forging a fake that is similar to the real deal. They have realized that if fake coin is slabbed it is harder to perform the various tests to verify it is legit. About.com did a good article when Chinese officials cracked down on of these rings and found hundreds of fake slabbed coin (Morgan, double eagles, pandas you name it). Grading services have caught on and have implemented additional security.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I am betting that in some cases now, they are actually sending a real coin to be graded and then breaking the slab getting the certificate/hologram and putting a fake coin/slab with those.&nbsp; Once they start doing that in large numbers&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
