This hobby is struggling to an extent, but it’s going to get worse. Soon enough. People don’t want to listen to reason and pivot to a better/more secure space, rather carry on as status quo, so, history shall repeat itself.
I knew really good fake Cas holos had “recently” been discovered/ purchased last year or whatever. But I’m not sure I was aware they were being used to put on peeled cas coins / funding them. Making them look “unpeeled”‘ again. This is what I would equate to a “mortal sin” within the hobby. The can of worms this opens up is massive. Has this been discussed in other threads, still being done? I can’t even begin to understand why this would be happening. This is something 5-10 years ago the entire community would have lost their minds over. Now most of the community is gone, doesn’t feel like speaking up etc. I mean 🤦♂️
If this is really true, then it needs to be made public to protect the remaining collectors... otherwise, we are going to get some very serious problems. If it's no longer possible to distinguish between originals and fakes, the entire field is 100% dead. It will die a slow D E A T H. Even coins with a clean history will no longer find a buyer.
Since when exactly have these faked CAS holograms been in circulation ??
