The more involved you are in collecting ancient money, the more likely you are to come across coins or bills of questionable authenticity. These coins or notes may be altered, replicated, or counterfeited. To protect yourself, you should only buy coins or currency from trusted merchants, and buy coins or currency that have been certified by a third-party grading company such as PCGS, NGC, or PMG. You should also increase your knowledge of what to look for when trying to determine the authenticity of coins and currencies. The book The Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection​ by PCGS can also help you understand this topic.
Counterfeits could be found for nearly every coin minted until 1933. As technology progressed, so did the acumen of numismatic counterfeits. Some fake coins can be easily detected by looking at the coin under a magnifying glass. If you notice “bubbles” on the surface, engraving that doesn’t match the original printing product, color and/or luster discrepancies, and weight differences, then the coin in question is most likely a counterfeit. Below is a list of the most common counterfeit coins, click on each coin to see how the real coin looks like:
No, you should never clean your coins. By cleaning the coin, you run the risk of causing significant damage to the surface of the coin. Coins that have been cleaned have a much lower value than coins that have retained their original surface. Coins that are not kept in a protective environment will oxidize over time. Oxidation can result in dark and/or light toning, sometimes rainbow tones. Many collectors will only buy coins with the original coloring.

Your coins and notes can be sent via postal service.
When packing your coins or notes, make sure you pack them securely in a box with enough packing material so things don’t move. Before you close the box, give it a little shake to make sure the contents don’t move; if it moves, add more wrapping material. Place a box inside another box to fully protect it. Double-check whether the packing material is sufficient so that the package is secure and there is no wiggle room. Write the address on the package and affix the appropriate label from the post office on the box. Please do not indicate package contents outside the box.
