[QUOTE="THCoins, post: 3696493, member: 57364"]The opening poster seems to expect that there is a comprehensive list one can cross off to determine if a coin is genuine or fake. Reality is more complex. In reality we might ask the openingposter to look at a stranger, and ask why that man is not his father ? The openingposter could respond with a short list of differences between the stranger and his father. Without doubt one could pick a new stranger which complied with all his objections made. And he would still say, 'but that's not my father !'. More likely, if asked such a question, the opening poster would answer 'I know my father, and that's not him !'. When judging a coin, the mind of the expert probably works in a very similar way.[/QUOTE]
