OspreyCoins Pillar of the Community United States 932 Posts	Posted 10/14/2015 6:37 pm So, on my time on the forum (which isn't actually that long) there have been many posts about really terrible fake coins. So, I thought that this would be a good place to put a lot of them together. So please post your favorites! Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 10/14/2015 8:02 pm I would not call these counterfeits pathetic as these are on the better side of fake coins. These two gave me the most concern about collecting because they are in slabs, and I was about to start a gold slab coin collection. I have held off on starting my gold coin collection until I can learn more about gold coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 10/15/2015 6:45 pm I know the holders are fake as well, but just imagine if TPGs fell for fakes like this. Report this Post to the Staff
