<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 984907, member: 26302&quot;]You make some good points, but I don&#039;t think its a concern. The greying of the hobby has been around as a concern since I was a 10 year old and heard all of the old dealers talking to each other about it. It seems a lot of people get into the hobby in middle age, since it is no greyer than when I was 10. </p><p><br /></p><p>The best defense with Chinese counterfeits is to notate when coins came into your collection and when. Any coin purchased at auction in 1982 I am not going to scrutinize too closely. You can always have them slabbed for authentication in the future as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know your financial situation, but if you knew you wanted to get out I would do it over the course of a few years at least. In the meantime, I don&#039;t think there is any rush to dispose of them, and I think they will at least keep pace with inflation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you had bullion, I might have another opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw welcome to the forum![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
