<p>[QUOTE=&quot;howboutatrade, post: 1128259, member: 10387&quot;]Okay lyds...excuse my ignorance, however, I need more clarification.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Traditional die polishing leading to smooth dies created a smooth cameo finish. Modern die polishing using laser etched dies creates a rough cameo finish. Both are die preparation, just different method (for better efficiency or effectiveness), and both would lead to better cameos early and less cameo later. Still not seeing why one is &quot;fake&quot; or &quot;artificial&quot;...just seeing different and possibly one produces more cameos between polishing/etching/die replacement.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please provide more info on the process that is leading to fake or artificial. I too, do not like doctored coins and fake/artificial would be doctored, even if completed by the mint. Right now though, it seems real with an opinion of looking fake...kind of like what chridular said...it looks like it will fall off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
