  Thanks for the link.

  I'll see your bunny with a pancake on his head and raise you a Siamese cat with a miniature pumpkin on his head.

  looking at the pics are neat but nothing shocking to me.
  these types of operations have been in place for decades.
  
  micro O morgans come to mind.

  Actually been going on for some time. The newest is to make those fakes and put them into fake slabs with something like PCGS or just about anything on them.

  And if you think this is limited to coins, you are sadly mistaken.
  
  We had pics of bogus spark plugs being built in a similar looking facility.

  I saw a chinese website a while back that was offering fake knockoffs of everything from silverware to air conditioners. They'll fake anything and everything.

  I don't really think this bothers me all that much as the professional grading companies can spot these fairly quickly. Those micro O Morgans took a lot of work to detect on their part but they uncovered them and honored their grading guarantee.

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
