[QUOTE="WashQuartJesse, post: 1085537, member: 18323"]"Not really Jesse. Often even the experts can't tell one from the other." I'm certainly no "expert" but I'd like to be tried on this as I am...well... respectfully skeptical of this statement. I'm not saying with 100% accuracy, but easily 90%. This leads me to ask if the following, which I posted earlier, is indeed factuaL "However, I think the first run of 65 SMS coins, which was the minority run, resembled more closely the business strikes. Somebody correct me if I am wrong on this." If this is the case, than I can see the difficulty with identifying the minority coins and the reason why I've been able to identify the majority (vs. business strikes) so easily. "There have been several examples slabbed as SMS and then later determined not to be SMS. And vice-versa." I suggested that the majority of mix-ups have occured with TPG's calling non-SMS coins SMS coins. I believe I am correct.[/QUOTE]
