Message:: [QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2288944, member: 36230"]That's a nice article, but proves NOTHING. I'm also guessing this is why you now have concerns with the back of the neck; the power of suggestion is alive and well. The article wasnt intended to be used as a guide for authentication, sir. You need to understand what you're reading. As for what PCGS  says as an "indicator for counterfeiting", of course not... because that's NOT what they are. Again, you need to understand what you're reading. Have you even bothered to verify the two known identifiers clearly visible on this supposed "counterfeits"? Have you bothered to compare the scalloping to see that it is a, not close or similar, but perfect match to known genuine pieces? Again, the "counterfeiters" must be an impressive bunch to be able to masterfully replicate such intricate and unintended detail, yet screw up, to your eyes only, on the obvious. With all due respect, sir; I sincerely hope you're not typically buying anything unless pre-screened by a capable dealer, or coming directly from a reputable auction firm. Ebay isn't a place for you to buy unless from select individuals. Again, this is at least the third time within a few weeks tops that you've completely blown an authenticity call, and by your own estimates, on coins totaling nearly ten thousand dollars. That's a significant amount of money by anyone's measure, so such claims, when presented as fact, do not warrant a blind eye turned. What you're doing can harm others, sir. You told an inexperienced seller his clear fake was worth $400, and if you can't see the danger in that, to both this individual and his potential buyers, there's a big problem here. As for your now-claimed point, that's not true either. The title of this very thread starts with "fake", and this certainly does not suggest just a simple warning to be cautious or to scrutinize potential purchases.[/QUOTE]
