Interesting for sure, but there must be more than 500 fakes around! I think there have been that many posted here on the coin forum. Therefore the catalogues needs to be expanded eventually, ore maybe it is slowly growing.

Not a useful resource, seems anyone can add anything there.
Genuine coins are posted as fakes.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Unfortunately, it does not surprise me that there are many fakes on Catawiki. My experience shows that the so-called expert auctioneers have no expertise in their respective fields on many occasions at all. They cannot distinguish real items from fake. Sometimes it seems they have no idea about what they are doing, and their price estimates have nothing to do with the reality. Recently I read an article on smartshoppingschool.com and it correlates with my experience. It shows how unprofessional these "expert" auctioneers are. Although this article is mainly about jewelry and gemstones it gives good insight into how those "experts" work. It cannot be excluded that they benefit from allowing sales of fake items...

That is because they are expert AUCTIONEERS, they are experts at selling things and getting people to buy them. They often do not really know anything about what they are selling, they just know how to sell it. |

So now we will have a new pile of books and documents on fakes. I wonder if China will make fake books on fakes.  |
