<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 1284965, member: 15019&quot;]Basically there are three ways I can tell the raw Asian coins this seller has are fake:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. He will let a coin go for $40 which normally would sell for 10 to 20 times that.</p><p>2. All of the coins have a similar appearance and surface features, such as the color and placement of toning spots. This is very rarely the case for any particular group of genuine coins, but is a tell-tale sign of counterfeits.</p><p>3. The more &quot;high end&quot; coins are too perfect for the minting methods that were used in the early 1900&#039;s. They are just righ for a laser-etched die and very high pressure strike.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I double checked, and you are right about the &quot;collectible&quot; alcohol thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
