<p>[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 2293169, member: 15019"]I would say a good fake is hard to spot regardless of when the original was made. Counterfeiters use many methods to artificially age the surfaces to the point where only a seriously trained eye and scientific analysis can tell the difference. To say it's easier to spot fakes of coins made in one era, category, region, etc. is just a distraction from the reality that high quality fakes exist of all of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
