Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 738684, member: 112"]coinpapa what you may not realize is that sometimes "looks" is all there is. When you have looked at enough coins, genuine coins, and you see another - sometimes that other may just look off, not right in some way. It isn't always something you can put your finger on, point to it and say, this or that is the problem. Now I realize that when this happens it doesn't help to further anyone's education or understanding. But when you think about it, have you ever anyone who explain experience to you ? You can point to this or that to explain experience either. That's because experience is the whole ball of wax, it's everything that a person that has done over a period of years, sometimes a period of decades, sometimes many decades. And how do you explain what has happened to you in 4 or 5 decades ? Short of writing a book anyway. So when someone says looks like - what they are telling you is that based on their experience it "looks like" a fake. Or it looks artificial. You can always question how or why they think that way - but they may not always be able to explain it. Because as I said, sometimes the "look" is all there is.[/QUOTE]
