[QUOTE="lib9995, post: 25519728, member: 146353"]hi guys! ive recently been comparing some of my pre 33 gold coins to the same coins pictured on the PCGS website. The pics on the pcgs site are of high quality so all the minute details can be seen easily. Ive been particulary been focusing on 'Die Cracks'. ive been able to match up some die cracks that are on my coins to some of the coins pictured on PCGS. Die cracks of the same pattern and location. The fakes I'm most concerned about are those middle east counterfeits made out of correct fineness and dimensions. My thinking is that even if the counterfeit dies are made from a genuine coin ,,,that the die cracks would be lost in the transfer as they are such a fine/tiny detail. I always enjoy learning about [URL='https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/list-counterfeit-detection.asp']Counterfeit Detection[/URL], do you guys think this is a good way to help verify the authenticity of the coins? and any other tips on weeding out the counterfeits. thanks![/QUOTE]
