<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 3458520, member: 86498"]I have been collecting for many years and I would find it very difficult to spot a fake simply based on a photo unless there were a number of compelling reasons. The first is an obvious problem of style. The second would be a die match which was waaay to close for comfort. Some years ago I bought this coin[ATTACH=full]919525[/ATTACH] Everything was great until I saw this one being offered at an auction[ATTACH=full]919526[/ATTACH] OOOppppps Houston we have a problem. As you can see not only do we have a die match but everything else matches including the defects. I contacted my seller as well as the auction house The seller refunded my money quickly and the auction house pulled their coin. I think if one is to condemn a coin they first should offer proof rather than some blank statement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
