<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 712982, member: 19463&quot;]I think they are better than that.&nbsp; They may be introduced into lots as upgrades but probably not &#039;mostly culls&#039;.&nbsp; What I have not yet seen is coins of this bunch with dirt added to make them fit into such a lot.&nbsp; Both sets I saw were clean and clear with thin retoning worn away on higher spots.&nbsp; Subsequent owners could add dirt as desired.&nbsp; There is quite a trade in silver fakes that are not deceptive in mint state gaining a better look by being mistreated, toned etc.&nbsp; Many people are wary of a mint state rarity but easily fooled by a damaged, worn and corroded one.&nbsp; These LRB&#039;s are not worth much if genuine so they may not get quite the attention in this way as have the Pertinax or Caligula fakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
