<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob Evancho, post: 3518881, member: 84595&quot;]I would definitely know if a coin was switched. Here is why.&nbsp; First I determine the variety of the coin I send in to a TPG.&nbsp; Then I do a diagnostic analysis of the coin, taking pictures obverse and reverse.&nbsp; Then I note the imperfections, scratches, and dings and where they are on the coin.&nbsp; I also weight the coin and use a micrometer to get the precise diameter.&nbsp; These are also important factors in Court when I testify and when comparing coins.&nbsp; Did you do all of what I mentioned?&nbsp; There are experts on Coin Talk that have probably testified in court or consult for the Secret Service on counterfeit and altered coins.&nbsp; They won&#039;t lead you astray.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know who cracked your case but I&#039;m sure it wasn&#039;t the TPG.&nbsp; They package coins securely and immovable.&nbsp; In a Court of Law there is a lot to prove to prevail at trial.&nbsp; I compared the three pictures with the E and they are all the same coin down to the nicks and dings in the leaf area and in other areas.&nbsp; I hope this helps you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
