<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 2437748, member: 73266&quot;]I have a few fakes and real coins to compare them to, but can&#039;t post decent photos at the moment. [USER=1892]@SuperDave[/USER] &#039;s post is spot on. The only way you will ever be able to spot a&nbsp; good counterfeit coin, without extensive research, is by training your eye to the real thing. Very seldom do we run accross a coin we want and it stay around long enough for us to research and learn about all</p><p>it&#039;s faults and attributes before it&#039;s gone. Do your research and training before you look. If you are quite familiar with the series,&nbsp; as soon as you put the loupe on it, you will know whether what you expect to see is there, or isn&#039;t.</p><p>I see alot of post on here with advice to not buy lowball coins, but instead buy the best you can afford.&nbsp; Lowball coins are great learning tools, they may not ever make you a profit when you sell them, but they will keep you from losing big time on a counterfeit if you study them. Pictures are a tool, I won&#039;t say good tool, good tools are in 3D.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
