[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2661071, member: 24314"]:shame: I need to clarify something. I learned this scale from an authenticator. He suggested that other TPG's where he worked try it out when discussing the quality of a counterfeit among themselves. Originally the scale had three parts. 1. Experienced professional authenticator or experienced profession dealer specialist on the type. 2. Above average experienced numismatist/collector/dealer. 3. Everyone else. [B]If the coin were in hand[/B], using the above scale on the OP's coin it would be a: 1/3-4/10 as it would not fool an authenticator yet it should fool most collectors. Coins like this wring a lot of money out of the unsuspecting. IMO, the OP received a lot of good info from the posters who had nothing except images to base their opinion on.:)[/QUOTE]
