How nice that PCGS rewarded Mike with something more substantial than just the plaque. The topic "Counterfeit coins for sale on this site." is eliciting a lot of emotional responses. Here is a link to the work that we of the BCCS are doing with contemporary counterfeits: http://www.barbercoins.org/Counterfeits.htmlI would make a bid on the lot, take the two Barbers for myself and make an effort to get the Canadian "coin" to Mike. The others I just may destroy outright. Here is a link to my recent acquisition: https://goccf.com/t/137735&whichpage=2Both the real eample and the counterfeit were found on the same day! |

All that being said - how is one to know whether or not you're bidding on a true Panda, Maple, Kookaburra, etc.? Who are some legit sellers - ? |
