<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2486251, member: 24314&quot;]File marks are a bad thing on fakes and genuine coins.&nbsp; Very often an experienced collector can tell if his coin is a casting (often detected by their edge) without looking for the raised seam on the edge or the file marks that removed it.&nbsp; Better copies are found with that seam less conspicuous at the rim!&nbsp; There are many reasons to file the edge of genuine coins too.&nbsp; Skilled artisans can &quot;spoon&quot; away most traces of these repairs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
