<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 7481850, member: 21705&quot;][ATTACH=full]1294572[/ATTACH]</p><p>Just to raise a particular concern to me. I tend to collect the lower grades like the above. If a fake is produced and artificially aged and worn to this level, is there any way to detect that it is a fake? The sister marks would be worn off. If the planchets are proper and the dimensions and weight are right, are they even detectable?</p><p><br /></p><p>I mention this because I&#039;ve noticed a lot of formerly very rare varieties showing up in relatively large numbers in lower grades. Some will be from careful attribution, but could some be newly produced? I currently have accumulated 5 S-95s and 8 S-195s which are supposed to be R5+ rarities. It seems like too large a number for just careful examination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
