They won&#039;t be stopped by your refusal to adequately explain on the net how to do something or how things have been done. From what I&#039;ve read, there&#039;s at least one person who believes that if he can/could construct such a good fake as to have it be undetectable by experts, then it is pretty much the same as really being the authentic item, so he has no compunction about not doing it. </p><p>Instead, by denying real knowledge from being spread, you&#039;re more likely to perpetuate ignorance in a group of people who certainly could stand to learn about forgeries and fakes of numismatic items. (My apologies to anyone who already knows how altered coins can be done with little to no way of telling just by examining the coin, but has to be done by spotting the wrong style of lettering, or weight, or many other factors).</p><p><br /></p><p>And I would never call what I described in my post above, or what you allude to as &quot;taking a coin apart&quot; since a coin is a one piece object. But there are ways to alter that one piece object to be what it isn&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
