<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7705088, member: 103207"]The counterfeiters of today are very good. They are counterfeiting common coins too. The counterfeit common coins are mostly coins that people wouldn't spend a lot of time looking at. That's where the problems are. If someone walked into a coin shop with a few lower grade mint state 1921 Morgan dollars to sell how many dealers would spend a lot of time looking at them. They're cheap coins that a dealer may just toss in a junk silver box. These coins could be in the market for years before they are caught if they're ever caught. Not to many people will send a 1921 Morgan in for grading if it looks like a MS 62 coin. The same can't be said about a 1893-S Morgan dollar counterfeit. A smart dealer or collector will spend a lot of time looking at a 1893-S dollar, that's even if would only grade VG. BTW I haven't heard of a counterfeit 1921 Morgan dollar I'm only using the date as an example of what may slide by.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
