[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8592129, member: 24754"]Ya, I saw the Chersonesos thread, pretty scary. I'd always assumed that some fakes were probably slabbed, as nobody is perfect. Also, methods for conclusively telling the difference between a hunk of metal smacked into shape 2000 vs 1 years ago are unreliable at best (pretty much all determining factors can be faked by somebody with the right knowledge and resources). But, while NGC surely makes a mistake every once in a while, the truth of the matter is that their determinations are many many times more reliable than mine![/QUOTE]
