Message:: [QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2288908, member: 36230"]So because PCGS claims to see two fakes a month, it somehow makes this coin a fake too, or is it your mix of assumption and conjecture that does? No one here can reasonably deny the existence of fakes, but that doesn't mean any coin you personally question must automatically be one. Are we really supposed to believe that these supposed "counterfeiters" were somehow able to get everything right about that coin yet magically screw up on the nose and luster, or could it be that you're misinterpreting what you're seeing? What are these other "significant differences" you speak of? Again, focus on the verifiable... on facts, and at least try to understand that images can be deceiving. It seems to me that you've already convinced yourself the coin is fake, and are now grasping in an attempt to prove yourself right. It's certainly good that you're, at the very least, now comparing coins of the same type, date, and mint before labeling them fake, but there's still immense room for improvement. Labeling a genuine coin fake can be just as harmful as calling a clear fake a genuine piece, and you've now covered both bases.[/QUOTE]
