Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5670 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 12:04 pm Wow--those pictures are horrifying. I know some people have downplayed the potential impact of counterfeiting on coin collecting, but the massive number and quality of counterfeits these days has got to have a destabilizing effect on the coin market. Seeing pictures from that counterfeit operation is really disheartening. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188342 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 12:37 pm Yes, really old. Been posted here more than a few times. I think this was the first mention... https://goccf.com/t/27792 Most of the image links are dead. This is why we prefer you upload your photos to CCF instead of link off-site.

joeysanders627 Valued Member United States 408 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 1:29 pm Chinese engaging in counterfeiting operations? No one should be surprised. They do this with everything. I used to be in the flooring industry many years ago and the Chinese would make wood and laminate floorings similar to what the major US companies produced. Report this Post to the Staff
UltraRant Pillar of the Community Norway 1358 Posts	Posted 10/05/2016 09:57 am @joeysanders: Top Gear once had an episode where they looked closer at Chinese cars. Almost all of them were copies of existing models produced in the Western world. Trying to stop them via a court case won't get you anywhere in China. For coins: sure, we shouldn't be surprised and we shouldn't expect things to improve anytime soon (except the quality of the fakes, that is). That's just now how it works there.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/06/2016 12:35 pm The scary part is this was first reported 8 years ago and they have been churning out the fakes ever since then. Think of how many of these fakes have entered the market in 8 years. Report this Post to the Staff
