Am just curious as to any web sites with a list of photos of fakes and counterfiets ?

I believe these web sites are just as important as those web sites that describes real authentic coins. I honestly believe counterfiets should be destroyed. What would happen if you had 2 handfuls of counterfiet $100.00 Bills ?

JAIL TIME !

And do not pass Go and do not collect $100.00!

It seems fakes and counterfiets are collectibles though give me a break. If you get caught delivering a 100 dollar bill to the bank and it is counterfiet most likely you wouldn't get re-imbursed.

What country counterfeits are you looking at mishap? I think there was a general site but I can't quite remember it top off my head. Will get back when I remember what it is.

I agree with you. Once a counterfeit coin is discovered and absolutely confirmed as counterfeit it should be permanently removed from the possibility of ending up in the collector stream as real. The problem is, who would police such an action? What happens if they're wrong and it's not discovered until it's too late?

Fake coins get into the hands of collectors quite a bit. The only thing I have learned is educate yourself as much as possible. It you have a type coin you like know it inside and out....or fronwards and backwards lol. I have posted one under grading practices you might want to look at and tell me what you think.
