<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 1468984, member: 24754"]If there are fakes that are so good that they are impossible to detect, then it is impossible to truly authenticate any coin. I'm not saying that this is not the case. If you use the same material, the same minting process, and design quality hubs based on the originals, then the product will be identical (and thus impossible to differentiate). I think that this is just the unfortunate state of the hobby. Unless you have bulletproof provenance you can't really be sure, even if the coin is in a slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
