[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 484423, member: 8012"]To spot good counterfeits, you need to be an expert (having the coin in hand helps too!). I'm guessing a very small number of people on this forum are experts in all three of those types - let alone even one of the types. So it becomes like a multiple choice question, where you can eliminate one or hopefully two and then the one left is the right one! Reminds me of languages. Have you ever talked for a long time to someone who is not a native english speaker? They can talk for hours and their accent and choice of words can be perfect. But once every 3000 words, they make a word choice that a "native" english speaker just wouldn't say. The same applies to anyone who can effectively pick out counterfeits. They been fooling people for hundreds of years. How many counterfeits do you have in your collection? Start looking at them and second guess yourself![/QUOTE]
