<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3567878, member: 76194"]Honestly, weight and diameter only helps to weed out the worst of fakes. Real deceptive fakes are often made of silver and weight the same. You'll especially see it in coins with high numismatic value, but I wouldn't put it past a Chinese faker to do it either for even a more common coin. After all, $15 in silver and a press can make them a coin they can turn around and sell for $75 or $100. Repeat that a couple of hundred times and you have a very lucrative fake business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
