<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 438829, member: 12965"]I noticed in the HPA that marking the counterfeit on the edge does not qualify, which is interesting they went down that road, but if it were sufficient, I would think that would be acceptable by counterfeit collectors. The problem, in my opinion, is when you mark the surface, you take away from the reality of the coin and it is no longer similar to the real deal but rather, just a hunk of metal at that point. I wish Hobo was around to address this, since he's an avid counterfeit collector and could explain this much better than I can. </p><p> </p><p>I know that I would not want to mark the surface of my counterfeits but I wouldn't mind making a mark on the edge so they would never be confused with the real deal. :thumb:</p><p> </p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
