    It is really scary, what's next fake CAC stickers as well.

    If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?

    Unfortunately China does not discourage counterfeiting. It employs people. They are allowed, unless of course, it's a Chinese coin post 1949.
    The makers probably don't know counterfeiting is a problem elsewhere. They try to put out a good enough product that they will get a lot of orders on. Therefore, they get better with time...

    Fake coins are bad enough. This has been going on for Centuries. Fake coins in Fake slabs are illegal, immoral, un ethical, and just wrong! They used to hang counterfeiters. Good grief our hobby is under attack. PCGS please send the Big Boys to China with a big hammer.

    There really needs to be a two-prong approach. First, make this counterfeiting (including all commercial goods) a trade issue. Raise the import duties on China and other bad actors until they stop it.

    Second, pass a fed law prohibiting the listing of modern counterfeits sale with hefty fines for auction sites that fail to police listings.

    Shoot, the latter may be all that is necessary. Hit eBay and others with a couple $100M fines and it will come to a screeching halt.

    Doesn't eBay already police listings? It's seems that obvious counterfeits are removed very quickly, like this one.

    For those of us who don't see the thread quickly enough (i.e. before the listing is ended) ... PLEASE download and post the relevant images. The thread becomes useless as a learning opportunity if the only remnant of the listing is a dead link (killed by eBay).

    Are you suggesting they haven't faked stickers yet? Coins, slabs, stickers which of the 3 would be easiest to fake? EVERYTHING is counterfeited in China.

    When you start a thread like this you need to imbed the actual photo instead as sometimes as in the case the auction has been taken down and the link is of no value.

    Listing now gone... I agree with others that recommend capturing the image when posting... so often it gets taken down before many can see it. Makes for a missed learning opportunity. Cheers, RickO

    Here's one that has hit a couple of times- 1879-cc "capped die"; not even close.

    And a real kick in the teeth, Yolanda's coin on AliExpress is advertising PCGS certified 1833 large cents for $115.00; looks like they helped themselves to Heritage's images of this one.

    https://coins.ha.com/itm/a/1233-3502.s

    They even show some of their manufacturing techniques for these; it would be interesting to see how close these are to the genuine article...

    Can you imagine the mayhem if the US Braintrust in the DC swamp ever decided to make those Trillion Dollar Coins that were discussed a few years ago? Or how about if Bitcoin was an actual Coin , instead of just a figment?

    Hmmmmm? Maybe it would be cool to buy $1,000,000,000,000 00 Coins by the Roll at perhaps $5.00 each? Certainly a better deal than 200 Gadzillion Zimbabwe Notes at $189.00 each.
