[QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 478891, member: 13342"]GDJMSP, Here is an article for the counterfeit detection guide on the PCGS website. "Virtually all cast counterfeits are underweight, compared with the genuine coins from which they are copied, due to the fact that base metals usually are used in place of any precious metals that would have been present in the original coins." [URL="http://www.pcgs.com/articles/article1796.chtml"][COLOR=#810081]http://www.pcgs.com/articles/article1796.chtml[/COLOR][/URL] This would imply to me that gold cast counterfeit at the correct weight and dimensions would be rather uncommon(though not out of the question). Am I misinterpretting this, or do you disagree with PCGS? I do agree however that the seem around seems mighty suspicious(no pun intended).[/QUOTE]
