<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tin_Man_0, post: 7552842, member: 100189&quot;]What gives you the impression that any of them are the genuine article? The parts circled seemed to me like possible pmd from the original. I&#039;m guessing the forger managed to produce a working die and made a few dozen or two and has been dropping them a little at a time whenever they needed money so as to not get caught... So why would a forger let go of the genuine article if his copies manage to even get certified? I couldn&#039;t imagine he&#039;d let go of it until all his copies are gone and he can&#039;t or doesn&#039;t have the means to attempt creating another working die. So the oldest samples wouldn&#039;t necessarily mean they&#039;re genuine, but the rather just the first of the copies wouldn&#039;t it? Might explain why they look like they&#039;re in better shape too. The copies in lesser state are probably aged longer in whatever processes the forger uses to generate petina or accelerated ageing. I imagine that even accelerated aging can take a good amount of time if it&#039;s to be convincing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
