If coins were just at face value, no one would bother to counterfeit them as they can't make a huge profit. Take it this way around, if you do own a genuine coin out of a huge batch of counterfeit coins, that is something you can be proud of.

There would be no FBI, CIA, USMC, and police force (ok, maybe that's GOOD!) 4. Locksmiths would starve 5. On Sundays, we would talk about Heaven and ? 6. All coins would be the same price for everyone - no more snipes on e-bay. 7. Pro Wrestling would have to dramatically change the way it works 8. There would be no more politicians ok. That's a start.... Report this Post to the Staff

USArmyParatrooper Pillar of the Community United States 1283 Posts	Posted 04/05/2008 07:21 am IMO the counterfeit slabs are a legitimate concern, but as of right now it is overwhelmingly unlikely you will pick one up. Think about the ratio of legit slabs to fake ones. Also, from what I've seen it seems to be they only counterfeit (coin and slab) the very high-end coins. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that last part. Report this Post to the Staff
