<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 970012, member: 26302&quot;]Great thread, another of many reasons to hate slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Too few collectors pay attention to this side, and neither do forgers, which is why edging usually the easiest way to spot forgeries as well. Not just the simple signs of casting, but even struck copies of coins like the 1914d and 1877 cents. I was shown some good struck forgeries recently and the simplest sign was comparing the edge. The forgeries wern&#039;t in the same type of collar, so the edge was different. Reed counting is also a very well known method of catching forgeries on silver coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cool photos, thanks a lot. I need to learn how to photograph my coins someday. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
