<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3245524, member: 56859&quot;]Along those same lines, if a person is truly interested in learning to identifying fakes for the benefit of themselves and others, a better process would be to post them at FAC.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?board=9.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?board=9.0" rel="nofollow">FAC has an entire message board dedicated to identifying fakes</a>.&nbsp; <b>There are&nbsp; rules though:</b> you can&#039;t use the board to screen potential purchases, you can&#039;t name the seller or link to the seller, and you must describe why you suspect the coin of being a fake.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is an excellent process for someone trying to learn to identify fakes because it makes you think.&nbsp; You have to learn to put into words why you are suspicious, and committing to those words makes you think and learn.&nbsp; Some coins can be condemned by their images alone and then you have the satisfaction of adding the fake coin to FAC&#039;s Fakes Gallery-- that&#039;s one of the primary resources available for hobbyists when it comes to looking for known fakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
