<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rzage, post: 2007337, member: 14070&quot;]Josh , when looking at a coin to tell if it&#039;s fake color is the last ting you should be looking at , so many real coins have been AT as have fakes to make them appear old . Compare the coin to a known coin of the same date an MM and all the known die marriages . Also look at the surface for bubbles or pits , tool marks that are not on any originals . The reeding is a very good indicator as that&#039;s where a lot of counterfeiters skimp . Look for overlapping lines again compare to a original coin . There&#039;s some good books on detecting fakes but most concentrate on key dates . BTW the coin looks fine to me .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
