back in the 1980's the serious coin counterfeiting was in Numismatics...make a dye-cast,use real gold,and sell it for 3-5 times the spot price.. i am sure they are still floating around somewhere. regards,P1976

>>Bullion coins are better than bars, but with gold above 1K, I am sure there is plenty of potential for counterfeiting even for coins. The answer: fisch.co.za I have had a set of these since the '70's. They work quite well. Of course, they were cheaper then... and I think only 2 wallets available. They saved me from buying either a malformed or fake KRand. Dealer swapped for another, and issue went away. Does not really help for platinum/palladium yet... but I expect there is not much of that counterfeited. Another way is to buy the PAMP stuff, serial numbers stamped on bars, sealed in plastic high quality packaging, same number machine printed on package itself, I expect would take some effort in the counterfeiting dept to duplicate that.
