jp8484 New Member Canada 12 Posts	Posted 03/20/2019 7:23 pm I have noticed a lot of JOP counterstamped dollars listed in auctions with the major auction houses recently. It got me wondering, I would think that the counterstamp itself would be easy for someone in China to counterfeit...then they just put the stamp on a bunch of otherwise common dollars and end up with a decent profit. Am I being too cynical or are there hard to counterfeit markers for the JOP counterstamp? Report this Post to the Staff

jp8484 New Member Canada 12 Posts	Posted 03/20/2019 7:52 pm Really just wondering out loud at this point...also a bit worried. One of my favourite coins is the Anguilla Liberty Dollar and I can see that one being the target of counterfeiters as well as demand goes up. Report this Post to the Staff

I guess it depends if the market deems them 'acceptable'. Kind of like when artificial toning is done by a real pro, it's 'market acceptable'. Report this Post to the Staff
