<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2373238, member: 36230"]If done well, it is not quite as obvious as you're making it out to be, and no... this is not an assumption on my part. With paying close attention, yes... but again the fact is that an unfortunate number of people do not do so, and is why the scam I am aware of worked. For each person that pays close attention, is knowledgeable about, and focuses on the coin along with minor details, there is at least another who is and/or does not, and therein lies the danger of such things. This should be low on the realistic concern scale, yes, this doesn't mean one still shouldn't be aware and/or pay attention, especially when/if in certain buying situations. What's the old saying.... "<i>an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure</i>"?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for how it is done, it's not completely by chance; the right pressure applied "correctly" can (not will) break the seal.
