<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tinpot, post: 1611195, member: 35836&quot;]Well there are more sovereigns in existence than any other gold coin so it stands to reason they would be more often faked. Pretty much anything and everything is faked at this point. I&#039;d say 90% U.S. coinage is probably the safest spot to be for silver if you are worried about fakes. As for gold, harder to say, but I don&#039;t think there are many known fakes for smaller fractionals like 1/10 ozers, but you will also typically pay a significant premium if buying retail. All depends on your risk tolerance and knowledge to whether or not you should buy coins that have been known to be counterfeited. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are buying from a well respected site it certainly lowers your risk of getting a counterfeit, but may not eliminate it entirely.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also believe bars are a higher risk item, as it would seem its easier to make a convincing counterfeit of a bar, while a round is more difficult.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
