<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pandacollector, post: 972005, member: 26583&quot;]The Chinese Coin Forum has a section called Fake Coins that is quite active: <a href="http://china-mint.info/forum/index.php?board=11.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://china-mint.info/forum/index.php?board=11.0" rel="nofollow">http://china-mint.info/forum/index.php?board=11.0</a></p><p>China-mint.info has a list of eBay sellers to avoid. The list is updated weekly: <a href="http://www.china-mint.info/fakechinesecoinsellers.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.china-mint.info/fakechinesecoinsellers.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.china-mint.info/fakechinesecoinsellers.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Those are the two most up-to-date sites I know of for Chinese counterfeits. There are also lots of single articles and news reports you can find on the net through Google. My favorite is a photographic exposé of a Chinese counterfeiting operation. It has photos of phony Morgan Dollars and Indian Cents being knocked out among others. <a href="http://coins.about.com/od/worldcoins/ig/Chinese-Counterfeiting-Ring/Chinese-Fake-Coin-Minting.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.about.com/od/worldcoins/ig/Chinese-Counterfeiting-Ring/Chinese-Fake-Coin-Minting.htm" rel="nofollow">http://coins.about.com/od/worldcoins/ig/Chinese-Counterfeiting-Ring/Chinese-Fake-Coin-Minting.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I think we all need to realize that while many fakes enter the&nbsp; country via eBay, after that they turn up at swap meets, coin shows,&nbsp; coin clubs, etc. Every collector should have a working knowledge of what&nbsp; counterfeits look like and this includes counterfeit NGC and PCGS&nbsp; slabs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best wishes,</p><p>Peter Anthony</p><p><a href="http://www.pandacollector.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pandacollector.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pandacollector.com/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
