<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7988504, member: 97383&quot;]I agree, it looks like the Chinese coin market is finally starting to simmer down. Aside from the unrealistic prices of these coin, the number of fakes in the market is having an impact too. The fakes aren&#039;t a new phenonium either. I bought the fake &quot;Fat Man Dollar&quot; pictured below over 20 years ago for $30. When prices for these coins began to escalate I sent it in for slabbing, it came back in a &quot;body bag&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. When I noticed the die clash marks on the reverse I was convinced the coin was genuine <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.
