As for my situation, I chose to turn it over to the Postal Inspector for investigation.

The market is being flooded with counterfeits and it has trickled down to the inventories of some unsuspecting and less knowledgeable dealers. This causes mistrust within the industry. Worst yet, I have seen counterfeit gold, Morgans and copper slabbed in supposedly counterfeit NGC and PCGS holders. Dealers and collectors alike must now become experts in detecting fakes. I just hope that it doesn't drive away our young future collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
