<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2458340, member: 76194&quot;]Thanks. It&#039;s important to document fakes carefully to teach others what to be on the lookout for, especially the newbies. I had to undergo that task not long ago. Here&#039;s mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]514846[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Missing from the desription is another teltale sign. Look at all those casting pits like little pockmarks. Your Othoo has it too. That is one of the easiest warning signs to spot. Note: Some coins do have naturally marked surfaces from leaching of the impurities inside the cin over the years, but they look different. Get to know the difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]514845[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And the casting seam and gate!</p><p><br /></p><p>The sad thing is that the heavy toning hid the cast mark so well you can&#039;t see it with a 5x loupe. I had to go 100X magnification under heavy light&nbsp; to get the final proof. Which is why I recommend people invest not only on a good eye loupe, calipers, and scale, but also on a decent plugable microscope capable of at least 100x magnification.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
