<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2175474, member: 26302&quot;]I hear you sir, but personally do not bother with die markers for fakes. I do try to remember die markers for real coins, but for fakes try to not allow myself to worry about certain die markers. The 22 is actually a fairly easy coin to assess, since by definition it was overly polished dies that made the coin. Look at the mottos, the jacket, and other details on the obverse. Luckily forgers are not numismatists, so they probably are not aware this coin should have a shoddy appearing obverse do to a poor die.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To me, the problem with concentrating on certain specific marks to identify fakes is they are always coming up with new ones. If you just memorize certain markers, a new fake may have none of them and you might get fooled. I simply try to look at the whole of the coin, using everything I might know about the issue, instead. Maybe its just me though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
