I suppose the idea is one of consistency – where the coin is not valid due to a requisite standard – or might be a counterfeit. In every instance I’ve found the genuine item – the marker was there. If it is not in such a case, and the rest of the details are DEFINITE…I would assume a different variety. </font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">Interesting point, about the stages; thanks for the link!</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">The main question I have concerning markers, etc.: is there a case of a DDO coin – any coin – where the marker alone was sufficient to prove authenticity (is there any standard of a grading service using markers exclusively for a certification)?</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">A.J.</font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
