<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 629790, member: 4552&quot;]Countries like China and possibly others make both fake coins and fake slabs. WHY? Why not. Some are real coins in fake slabs, some fake coins in real slabs, some fakes in fakes. </p><p>One dealer showed me a slab that looked as if it was perfect, never opened. The coin inside was far, far from the description on the slab. He did it to show it could be done. </p><p>Ond dealer I was talking to about fakes showed me a 1916D Mercury Dime in a slab. He said when he first bought it raw, he sent it in for grading. It came back in a body bag labled fake. He resent it to another TPGS and it came back in the slab he showed me. </p><p>One dealer I know has what appears as an endless supply of 1943 Steel Cents. Many of them are obviously reprocessed. All sell for the same price of $0.25 each so why would any one spend the time and money to reprocess them??? </p><p>People are just people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
