I have noticed on ebay that the bad Chinese counterfeit coin photos get taken down on a regular basis. It appears the seller sold 12 coins using stolen photos before the listing was removed. Is the use of genuine coin photos a growing trend by the Chinese counterfeiters? Report this Post to the Staff

Uncommonlyrare New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 12/27/2024 8:44 pm Wonder if the grading services would consider or could implement a low-cost slab authentication service for the older ones that don't have holograms or modern safeguards. With submission of photos and videos but only as a moment in time seevice. Report this Post to the Staff

jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2217 Posts	Posted 01/12/2025 5:08 pm I was in Prague in the Czech Republic for the holidays and occasionally looked at the coin forum. On a particular day, I looked at this post and then clicked on the link to see the original ebay listing. By then it had been taken down and I got the familiar "We looked everywhere..." screen, but this time with a twist--it was written in Czech! I thought you'd all enjoy seeing it.
