<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1895796, member: 112&quot;]I rarely if ever get too specific about things like that. I don&#039;t want to help make things worse by providing specific information, there are enough bad guys out there already. One skilled in the process can do the job well enough to even fool the TPGs at times. Do they fool them every single time ? No, but they do a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the things about putty though is that there are certain diagnostics, it has a &quot;look&quot;. The surface of the putty itself will be different the surface of the surrounding metal. But if you do not have the experience or the skill to pick up on this then you will miss it and be fooled. Detecting putty is not something that is easy to do. </p><p><br /></p><p>But there is one thing that may be helpful to some. As putty ages it tends to change color, it becomes lighter (sometimes darker but usually lighter) than it was originally. This lighter color makes it easier to see. But, not much. The areas, scratches, hits, whatever, filled with the putty are generally so small that even the lighter color will be overlooked and not seen by most.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if a putty job is done less skillfully then there may small traces of it that were smeared on the surface of the metal surrounding the mark being filled. This makes the area that needs to be detected a bit larger so technically easier to detect, but not much.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to know more Google these words - puttied gold coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
