[QUOTE="Jack D. Young, post: 8287382, member: 93371"]As a researcher, writer and collector of counterfeits I have to note "details coins" is an area where I have found many counterfeits- the counterfeiters artificially weather/ corrode many of their "coins" to try to hide the truth about them. As a result, in my opinion, TPGs have recently begun returning many genuine examples back as "unverifiable", which can be pretty frustrating to the owner especially if it is a rarer variety, etc. There are opportunities in detail type coins including my no date 1793 S-16 large cent sold on the Bay as a '94, but that may be the only one I actually will come out ahead on in the long run... I have always been interested in early large cents and have recently changed my focus to ones with counterstamps; maybe I'm just fooling myself that they aren't "details coins":D... Image is an example that certainly shouldn't be in a genuine holder for many reasons but is: [ATTACH=full]1464472[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
