ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 10/05/2015 7:04 pm I have to disagree. It is VERY easy to detect most fakes, if you know where to look. Plus, with certification services as cheap as ANACS, all key date coins, as well as any coin worth over $50, should be slabbed. Report this Post to the Staff
davec13 Pillar of the Community United States 757 Posts	Posted 10/05/2015 7:42 pm How many "good" fakes have you looked at childofthewheat? There are a lot of "bad" fakes posted here from ebay auctions, but there are many "good" ones floating around in collections and even dealers cases. These are the ones to worry about. Here is an example of a good fake. Would you be able to confirm that it's fake from that picture? I have many fake key dates that would fool 99% of buyers by photo only. I may for the heck of it submit a really good 1916D Mercury dime to ANACS and see if they can detect a good fake. It's been body bagged by NGC and PCGS, but most people I show it too dealers/collectors think it's legit. A subpar TPG company is almost worse the counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
terry8835 Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 10/05/2015 7:49 pm Coinfrog You are so right. I have bought common slabbed Morgans in MS64 for $65. I crack them out of their slabs and add them to my book set. I have often wondered why in the world someone would pay to have PCGS grade them? I sure do understand why you would want a rare and expensive coin to be slabbed and graded before you pay for it online. Almost the majority of Morgans MS64 and above are slabbed even common ones. It is a nice free benefit, but it does not addd to the value if I take the coin to my LCS and try to sell it. He grades his own coins. Report this Post to the Staff

We have many experienced eyes and it gives you a consensus opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
