[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 523798, member: 12965"]First, the seller's pics are not good enough to properly see the tells, but that alone is a critical aspect. Ask yourself this question: [I]If I were selling a 5G to 15G coin on Ebay, would I put up awesome pics or crappy ones?[/I] :whistle: From that, a new question emerges: [I]Why would someone put up crappy pics of a multi-thousand dollar coin?[/I] :kewl: Answer: To hide something! Considering it has the ding EXACTLY where the ding is on these counterfeits and the pics suck, that's all it takes for me to know this is a counterfeit. So to answer your question of how I can tell that 1795 DBD is a fake - deductive reasoning! ;) Ribbit :) Ps: This counterfeit is what brought me to CoinTalk and to understand this, look here: [URL]http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t35169/?highlight=1795[/URL] The pics there are some of the best you will see of this counterfeit. :kewl: Also, thanks to CoinTalk, I never did purchase that coin so I got lucky but as you can tell, there are bids on the current fake so not everyone knows about these counterfeits. :([/QUOTE]
