<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2762625, member: 1892"]One of my favorite ways to evaluate authenticity of a coin is to find the area of weakest detail, and then find known-good examples with similar wear and/or strike weakness. Then you compare the rest of the subject coin to those examples, to see if the wear/strike weakness pattern over the rest of the coin is close. This doesn't work in all cases but it's a pretty good indicator in the cases where it does.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
