<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 509129, member: 11521&quot;]PC,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A good defense is to know what a genuine coin <u>should</u> look like. That way, like Matt K., you should be able to spot something that &quot;looks wrong&quot;. The best way to learn what a genuine coin should look like it to look at a LOT of genuine coins. You can do this by going to coin shops and coin shows. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In addition you can get some education on counterfeit detection by reading a book, attending a class, etc. This will help you spot the more obvious fakes by looking for common markers (e.g., tool marks, bubbles or pimples, repeating depressions, etc.) that are found on counterfeits of all denominations and all series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
