Some counterfeits are so good that they have fooled even the experts that examined them in person - for over 100 yrs. Others are so poorly made that even a beginner can see they are fakes. </p><p><br /></p><p>What rick said is very true - many counterfeits are well known. Some of them have a little mark here, and indentation there - and so on. And if study and do the research - you come to be familiar with them. Others must be weighed &amp; measured - as well as looked at to confirm authenticity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin collecting is like any other trade - if you spend 40 or 50 yrs doing it and striving to learn as much as possible every single day - pretty soon you get good at it&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
