I'll allow for some likelihood that David Vagi and friends will filter out the fakes but the other brands of plastic strike me as worse than Raw because it is harder to examine a coin inside one of their slabs and I do not trust them to know more about it than I do. Most of the fakes you showed were not really deceptive style but I know that some of them would certainly fool an amateur like me. </p><p> [ATTACH]257017.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]257016.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am generally more afraid of pressure casts and tooled coins (above) than of fakes from copy dies but I know I can be fooled by many versions of the black arts. It is good to see fakes not only identified as fake but as to which type of fakes they are. The dies are interesting (but I would not buy one).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
