[QUOTE="borgovan, post: 820817, member: 13016"]If they're listed on the U.S. Mint website, you can probably trust them.

As far as coins, you can purchase coins in top-tier slabs, which provides some assurance, although I have seen counterfeit coins in genuine slabs, and I have seen counterfeit slabs. It all comes down to education and trust.[/QUOTE]
