<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1264281, member: 26302&quot;]I would concur, especially considering the wide spectrum in quality of fakes. The danger of relying on one marker is that, even if it works, sooner or later the fakers will find this out and make better fake &quot;m&quot;s. There have been many attempts at only one marker for fake coins, and all have this achilles heel.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its a lot like security. Israel security does not allow thier agents to simply profile. Profiling is a lazy way out, and works until it doesn&#039;t. You need to keep an open mind on everything, and learn to spot troubling aspects of a coin at every point. There are so many examples of expereinced people &quot;knowing&quot; a coin is fake but not being able to prove it for years, yet their instinct was right all along. Omega fakes and Black sea horde are two examples that come to mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one thing I can suggest is to look at thousands of good coins, and not just glance but really look. After that spotting fakes becomes easier to me, its not perfect but helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
