[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3664648, member: 56859"]I'd rather know, painful though it might be. I have several tooled and at least one modern forgery and it took me a long time to realize it. How the information is given makes a difference. "Your coin is an obvious fake/tooled and you're an idiot for buying it." Not good :D. "I'm sorry to say that your coin has signs of casting and matches a known fake. Here's a link to the match". Good. "Unfortunately your coin has extensive tooling. Here's an example without tooling." Good. Or, PM the member if you think they might want to digest the information privately first, but ultimately it benefits all of us to have such things mentioned publicly.[/QUOTE]
