Add to that the factor that the piece is small, and those who might not be handy with a magnifier might miss all the problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>The color looks good, and since it’s worn, some people might think that makes okay. Crooks know about that attitude. They even rough up their fakes to get “details grades.” That’s one of the ways that they have gotten their products into NGC and PCGS slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t want to scare people away from the hobby, but you need to know what all of us are up against.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
