Quote: If so... would it matter? I mean, if it can't be detected, would it matter if it's a fake or not? It matters as soon as better detecting abilities are available. Report this Post to the Staff
silvermaniac Valued Member Spain 134 Posts	Posted 05/04/2012 04:35 am Wow, I wasn't expecting that answer... I thought there was always something that gave up a fake. Do you know of any infamous case of nearly perfect fakes being discovered? I also thought counterfeiters only bothered with valuable coins, but just the other day my friend bought an really inexpensive copper fake. Why would anyone bother in faking a $2 copper coin?

Omega gold, Henning nickels, micro o Morgans (even got their own VAM listings, they were that good).

If you can make 1000 $2 coins that no one is likely to look at, you made $2000. How much did you make this week? Report this Post to the Staff

They could be making easier stuff that sells for $2; and also much easier to sell... how do you sell 1000 bad copper fakes in a week?

You make about 100 of 20 different ones and put them up on ebay under a dozen or so different accounts. Vary it around a bit, keep increasing the range of coins you are making and vary the values from the $2 to the $20 range. You will be able to move a ton of fakes that way.
