<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2825372, member: 76194&quot;]On one I caught myself with the use of a microscope by examining the edge and a little bump on the coin which first made me suspicious. The dealer sent the pictures to another dealer who said he found it suspicious too, so I got a refund and an apology. The dealer is a very respected dealer, but he had an off day with that coin. No one is perfect, and I do trust the guy despite that one mishap.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got suspicious because of my experience handling coins. Once you&#039;ve seen a hundred real ones and seen a hundred pictures of fakes, and held some yourself, you really start to get a feel for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second coin slipped past a dealer, but another dealer caught the mistake soon after when I showed him an image, and a phone call later I had a refund and I got to keep the fake for my own study purposes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
