So your telling me my collection of sharpies are counterfeit too! :cry:

 

No seriously, this is ridiculous. I guess we'd better make sure even more common coins look OK before buying! Scary!

James,

 

Common panda coins worth in the neighboorhood of $30 are being counterfitted like crazy. For new collectors I've been a proponent of buying graded pandas to avoid the counterfits but now that the slabs themselves are being counerfitted, that's not going to be much help.
