<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldCoinLover, post: 695862, member: 4336&quot;]Wow, mat you are damn good. some of these on first glance I couldn&#039;t spot as counterfeit, which surprises me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t really notice the detail lost on the 10 dollar indian, I probably haven&#039;t seen enough of them to tell anyway. I&#039;m sure if I put it by a geniune example I could see.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see the tooling on the neck in the second 2.50 indian, and its color also appears off. The first indian there seems to be a better counterfeit than the second. I do not see any tooling in the neck on the first one.</p><p><br /></p><p>These seem to be pretty good counterfeits to me, especially the first $2.50. You have a sharp eye my friend. I do not see any depressions on them but I do see lumps of metal and a tooling mark in the rays of the $20 (unless I&#039;m seeing things)</p><p><br /></p><p>I have not heard these &#039;pitting&#039; you are talking about on struck pieces. I have only heard of this on cast counterfeits, what causes this on struck pieces and how do I spot it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw matt keep it up, I love gold coins and I especially love studying counterfeits. This is my new favorite thread! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>It really shows me how much little I know.....and how much I have to learn. If i can&#039;t spot the counterfeit on first glance, that&#039;s a problem for me.</p><p>I need to look at more genuine pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
