Thanks for the update. It's scary to think there is fakes out there in real slabs. I guess that's why your buy the coin not the slab. But it still worries me, I know I'm not educated enough yet to distinguish between authentic and counterfeit coins.

I feel the same way. I'm still learning to ID raw fakes, but if a major TPG doesn't catch them I definitely won't.

Does anyone here believe it's possible that in the near future there really will be no way to distinguish between real and counterfeit?
It seems with modern technology growing exponentially (not to mention 3D printing taking off), we may have a major problem for this hobby lurking right around the corner.

I've been thinking that if only a few fakes have been caught after being graded by respectable grading services like NGC, what if there are lots more certified fakes that are still under the radar? For all we know, 5% of the certified coins in our collections could be fakes that are so good we can't tell.
