[QUOTE="NSP, post: 2437017, member: 74849"]What SuperDave said is great advice. One thing I guess I could add is that it never hurts to start by inspecting the date on the coin. For some reason a lot of counterfeiters have a hard time with getting the execution of the date right, even if the rest of the coin's lettering is pretty convincing. Comparing the date of the coin in question with that of a known genuine coin (like the ones shown on PCGS's "Coinfacts") is what I do. Keep in mind that just because the date looks good doesn't automatically mean that a coin is genuine, but you can weed out a lot of fakes this way.[/QUOTE]
