[QUOTE="Insider, post: 7571269, member: 24314"]The edge of two $20 Saints is posted. One is an older fake that is not very deceptive. The other is on a genuine coin. Question: Which is the fake - top or bottom? What are the three characteristic clues on the fake that are visible. Unless you have taken a counterfeit detection seminar or are read up on the subject, this should be very difficult. So clues... 1. C 2. F 3. EM Keep it short. For example, if Weak Strike were one of the answers, the clue would be WS. If you don't know the word we use beginning with the letter in the clue, you can describe what you see. :oops: If you are a :bucktooth:, you may forget to post the image.[/QUOTE]
