Thousands of Fake Coins From China

This wide-angle shot is deceiving at first. For perspective, consider that the blue stool in the middle of the photo is a full-sized step-stool type of seat. All around it are boxes and boxes of Chinese-made fake silver coins, all neatly sorted into compartments. Many of these coins will end up in fake PCGS, NGC, ANACS, or other grading service holders, but the majority of them are sold ungraded. Some of them are even sold "legitimately" as "replicas" rather than as the genuine coin, but without a marking indicating that they're copies, it is easy for dishonest people to pass them off as authentic.
