There are quite a few fake Casascius coins that can be found on Alibaba. Below are some examples with links to the webpage where they can be found. There’s also a slew of other prominent coins being faked and sold there as well.

In numismatics, people actually collect forgeries... there are folks who have fake morgan dollar collections, graded by pcgs as fakes... i’ve seen one of these sets at a coin conference and the price tag was insane...

I suspect, people will want to collect crypto fakes, but it would be a tiny number of collectors interested in them

It also applies in philately....forgeries...fakes and counterfeits are also collectables. Especially items that fooled the postal system in thinking they were genuine in other words postally used fakes. Sperati was the most famous and incredibly good at making realistic fakes.

Same in ancient coins. They are called barbarian silver. I had a counterfeit/barbarian Celtic version of a Roman coin. The counterfeit was produced around 140 BC and when I sold it was worth over 1000 usd.

Presumably he told that it was fake rather than them deciding? I doubt they know their arse from their elbow.

It still looks too blocky and shiny to be a convincing clone.

I'll volunteer to authenticate coins. Genuines will be etched "FOOL" to clearly show dazedfool-verified legitimacy. Fake coins will be removed from circulation at no charge. Grin

Very reasonable 1XMR processing fee per coin. Shipping at cost, both ways.

Now thats an idea....the fools shipping coins to a dazed fool to be fooled Grin

Don't worry when the time comes for me to get rid of some of my coins you most certainly will be notified. I believe I will post a full list of what I own, once I get all of them graded.

hahah thanks!

and jungle slabs? Sad

Unfortunately I wish I had done it before they change the color from yellow to Green but I figured it's best to do it now especially with certain coins being faked.

ANACS graded a fake Ebay bought Sol Noctis coin as if it was genuine.

These guys and the people who grade out there are not crypto coin experts.

We can do a better job in identifying the real ones from the fakes.

So a graded coin does not mean it is a real coin or that it has not had the holo peeled and then re attached.

I posted a photo of the Sol Noctis coin here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/info-breached-or-scam-coin-makers-list-3315347

That sticker they slap on saying authenticated is hilarious!

they need to hire few of us to do that work Cheesy

Your 100% right on that sky! We can do a better job than anyone outside the forum for sure!

Perhaps someone will open a service to grade just for us forum members...a forum member with high trust and years of trading cryptocoins..I can think of a few good people in here Wink

that can start something really good for the collecting community

yup!

so many trusted guys in here with such experience.
would be fun to have a inhouse grading system but would be too costly to setup just for the physical crypto and this community is not as big for the industry yet.

that's the point man!
they don't know how to differentiate in original and fakes. A graded coin not necessarily means it's original. They also have stated that they are not liable of the content of the coin and just the physical condition iirc

Sky-Mall is correct about that. ANACS just wants money. They’ll grade anything. Besides these recent Casascius coins, nothing else has been faked even close to as well as those. All easy spots. Your system is smart however, I try and save everything I can. I wouldn’t post it online though, as I’d be tempted to ask too Cheesy

True about the green slabs but again I have all the provenance to backup any coin that I own. Also I have not bought any coins in well over a year, almost 2 years. I know this does not fully make somebody a ease if they decided to buy one of my coins but it certainly helps to show the lineage and time frames of when I purchased the coins.
