<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lolli, post: 3138765, member: 96900&quot;]I think that you have to be an Expert or at least very near to Expert level by yourself to be able to tell if another person is a real Expert or a wannabe Expert.</p><p>You have to be able to understand, if what he says is true and how sophisticated it is.</p><p>The knowledge and skills of an Expert in fake detection should be much better than average like the skills of<font size="4"><b> ROBERT KOKOTAILO</b></font>.</p><p>Some are really good in attributing and writing descriptions others are very good in fakes detection. To be very good in both is rare and in most cases they are specialized only in one field.</p><p>CFDL had and I guess still has only loooooow quality ebay fakes, which are either very obvious low quality cast fakes or very obvious pressed forgeries from modern dies.</p><p>You needn´t be an Expert to detect these even an amateur can do this. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The only sophisticated ones at cfdl were <i>Barry P. Murphy and Cliff Laubstein, both are not active there anymore since many years! But if Cliff Laubstein wanted a competent answer, he wrote at Forvm with his nick Gibrog ^^</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>So who here or at cointalk or nfsl is able to detect real high quality fakes at auctions 5000+ Euro or 10000+ Euro or 100000+ Euro ?</p><p>And detecting some fakes at this price range within maybe 1 year, that would be a real Expert for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>If there is anyone here, then it would be a real honor and pleasure to learn from you.</p><p><br /></p><p>To find fakes at some reputable auctions houses for 100-3000 with imho not so good forgery detection is nothing special. The authentication skills of the Experts from auction houses are ranging between bad to extraordinary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
