    At the suggestion of Mr. Lange, I have decided to start a thread listing known websites and individuals who sell counterfeit coins. This is done so that future readers of this forum will have advance warning about this problem. Please add any site or seller that you know to be selling fake coins.

    I will start with these three:

    Etsy.

    While I am sure that there are legitimate coin sellers on this site, it seems that most of the coins I have seen are fakes. '43 copper cents, 44 steel cents, and others are plentiful. To quote from another post:

    Please, everyone, when it comes to coins, just stay off of Etsy.......you'll save yourself a lot of trouble!

    I sell on Etsy and I don't sell counterfeit. But I have bought and seen counterfeits on Amazon. Point being Counterfeits is a big problem especially from China. Counterfeits are sold in all internet sites from Walmart to Ebay to Facebook. We need stronger laws to protect our hobbies.
